With admiration we viewed the splendid ships— so strong, so beautiful, so superbly independent of wind or weather. Yet for all their brave appearance—these fine ships would be as nothing were it not for the men who man them. Whatever the accomplishment desired, the power of the fleet depends upon the human life within. The Grote-Rankin Co. Welcomes the Men of the Fleet to make themselves perfectly at home in this store—to rest and: talk and enjoy the atmos- phere of comfort, hospitality and good fellow- ship.
