NOTICE TO EMIGRANTS
(click HERE to enlarge)


  
Nationals are advised that in order to enjoy the protection and the rights covered by the law on emigration, those wanting to go to America must board a steamer that is an emigrant carrier, with a ticket issued in Italy from authorized offices.
   It is necessary that emigrants refuse every proposal of Agencies of emigration established outside of Italy, tending to attract them to disembark in foreign ports, because, accepting, they would encounter serious disadvantage: greater expenses, travel many times longer, lack of protection at borders by governing Commissioners, necessity to resort to foreign courts in case of litigation, and expensive stops in foreign maritime cities in order to achieve boarding schedules.
