The magnificent President Liners are broad of beam and exceptionally ready.] All are oil burners, swift express liners.

The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting.

All seaterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds--not berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos. bottles and reading lamps. Private bath and shower in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of these giant passenger liners.

The Cuisine is world famous. The deliciously prepared menus will delight you. And how the orchestra adds zest to your dining.

The decks are spacious. The Glass-enclosed Promenade always popular. Deck sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to make your trip a happy one. Unexcelled anywhere is the courteous and efficient service accorded you by the trained personnel about the President Lingry.

The great frequency of saflings and the liberal stopover privileges of the Dollar Steamship and Aracrican Mail Lines have made these glant passenger Liners out-j standingly popular among cravelers.
