The United States Shipping Board now has 174 cargo liners in service on 62 —eaeee yore it has 655 sear steamers assigned to general cargo and tramp service; these vessels have a total tonnage of 4,258,973 deadweight tons, which is exclusive of 2,500,000 tons still enga in war service and food relief work. Scheduled cargo liner service now reaches from this nation to every quarter of the globe, providing better service than any other means of overseas transportation. In every port reached by the American flag, there is a correspond- ent of The Scandinavian American Bank, fully conversant with the commercial requirements of their territory, financially pre- pared to handle all banking details incident to foreign trade, and cooperating with us in every possible manner. This superior banking service, linked up to the far-reaching program of the Shipping Board, insures firms who transact their foreign and domestic banking here, with unexcelled facilities for reaching their customers overseas quickly, safely and satisfactorily.
