White Star Liner—S. S. Laurentic

The new Laurentic was built late in 1927 and embodies all the latest improvements whether it be in the cabin or in the tourist third cabin.

Unsurpassed service, careful attention to details, a first class cuisine and constant attention to the passenger's comfort has given the White Star Line an enviable reputation and year by year they insist that this high standard be maintained.
