positions taken during tho making of a
picturcplny Miss Eyton asserts that un
der normal conditions It Is next to Impos
sible to really toll the color of hair from
seeing It on the screen.
Her assertkm has opened an Interesting
line of discussion. Miss Kyton's hair Is
a golden auburn. In the picture playn It
shows more black than anything else.
People who have never met Miss Eyton
poisonally seem loathe to relieve that her
tresses are not Jet black. However,
could they seo her wealth of wonderful
golden hair, they would soon change
their opinions.

when they think that Lester Pianos must necessarily be high priced
because they are high grade. Of course they make this mistake because
Lester Pianos are everywhere associated with the very highest grade
instruments.
But they sell as low as $325 and upward. What other high-grade
Piano can you get at that price? Compare the Lester with the other great
makes and you will find the others cost $75 to $200 more than the Lester.
The reason for this great saving is that we are manufacturers on a
large scale and sell direct from our own factories to you.

They are mnghlENTIRE (not assembled) in our own mammoth 20-acre
plant, livery posilble advantage is given to the purchaser. You deal
directly with thehianufacturer.
In buying a Iester you have no agent's profits to pay, no dealer's
profits to pay, no middleman to run up the price with "in-between" profits
which must come out of your pocket. Think this over carefully when you
select a piano. Then, when you get it firmly fixed in your mind listen to
a Lester.
That's all you need to bring you to a quick decision, Confidential, easy
terms. There's no "scheme" or "club" brand on the Lester, but it's the
biggest value in Philadelphia.
