tail business has materially Increased In
the past few months. Savings accounts
are growing by leaps and bounds, espec
ially during tho past month, and thcro ore
no labor strikes to mar tho prosperous
conditions to o found on every hand.
Any review of industrial, business and
labor conditions In Chester must be 6f ne
cessity Include tho two thriving boroughs
of Eddystono nnd Marcus Hook, both of
which ndjoin nnd aro Inseparable from
the commciclal and Industrial Interests of
t Chester.
The expected influx of a force estimated
at 23,w men to the mammoth plant or the
Remington Aims Company at Kddystone,
row nearlng completion, is n. civic prob
lem which Chester, with its piescnt pop
ulation of (.0,000, will bo called to deal
with at nn early date.
Tho Ynanufacturlng Interests of Chester
K are so clorely bound to Philadelphia that
f'they cannot bo consldcied apart. For all
m practical purposes, Chester Is In reality
a part of Philadelphia. l-or mat reason
the opinions of somo of Chester's well-
K. known manufacturers on present busi
ness and labor conditions, as affected by
the war. nnd tho futuro outlook when
W the war will be over, may be taken as re
ft' fleeting tho opinions of tho heads of
m similar Indus ti lea In Philadelphia.
Mr. Richard Wcthciill, of tho old estab
lished and well-known firm of Robert
Wetherlll & Co., himself a student of
economics and a practical business man,
Is very optimistic His concern employs
about 400 hands, mostly skilled me
chanics. Tho plant Is at present at full
capacity, Tho firm Is not engaged in tho
manufacture of munitions, but has profit
ed Indirectly through orders which came
to It through tho inability of certain
plants which are making munitions to
undertake them. Asked if he anticipated

f Arms plant would begin to run full, ho
IE said he did not Most of his employes
t have been trnlned with him and havo
grown up with him, associated with mm
for years. Neither does he anticipate any
adverse conditions as far as business Ii
concerned If the war should termlnato
suddenly, but, ho added, no ono can
safely predict what may or may not
hsnnpn.
IOf the futuro of Chester, and In fact of
the whole Delaware River front from
Trenton to New Castle, Mr. Wetherlll is
most enthusiastic.
m Perhaps nothing In Chester reflects the
changed conditions of recent months so
faithfully as the banks.
There has been an Increase In deposits
this year over a year ago of almost $100,
W. Most of this Is qulto recent. One
trust company reports an Increase In
membership of Its Christmas Savings Club
of 4700, as compared with 1700 JaBt year.

The suit wns Instituted bv Richard

W. Ulklns on behalf of the plaintiff and
other minority stockholder of the Cen
tral Park North and East Rallioad Com
pany of New York. The three Phll.i
dclphlans, who formerly were dliectors
of tho railroad, are named as co-defendants
with tho railroad corporation and
George W. Lynch, receiver. Thomaa
Dolan, who wns president of the United
Gas Improvement Company, died after
tho suit wns entered. His estate, there
fore, has been Involved In the litigation.
Kelly owns 12 shares of stock of tho
railroad, and In his suit against the dl
iectors charged that through their neglect
of -duty and breach of trust as directors
more than $2,CO0,000 of the' assets of the
company was wasted, nnd eventually tho
railroad went Into tho hands of a re
ceiver. Tho thrco Phlladelphlans were
members of the board of diicitois of tho
Central Company from 1SD.5 to 1903. Dur
ing some of these years they were also
directors of tho Metropolitan Stieet Rail
way Company and tho New York City
Railway Company. The Ccntrnl Company
leased nil Its piopertles to the Metiopoli
tnn Cross-town Railway Company In 1002,
and this company was later consolidated
with the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company.
Kelly complains that Dolan, Wldener
nnd Klklns, as directors, failed In their
duty to make nn provision for tho re
moval of the bonds of the Central Com
pany, but nllowed tho bonds to become
due. It also Is averred thnt tho directors
failed to call upon the Mctiopolitan
Company or upon tho Intcrurban Strcot
Railway Company, which took over the
property In 1002, to provide for a re
newal of $1,200,000 In bonds nnd mort

Enduring
Reputation
There is something fine about this transaction we had the other day with
a lady from Wildwood, N. J.
She came all the way up to Philadelphia just to buy a Lester Player-Piano.
She didn't go to any other store to listen to tone, inspect action, look over case.
She left her home with her mind fully made up to buy a Lester. Why?
"My mother had a Lester," she said. "It was in our home for many
years. Our friends and neighbors marveled at the way it kept its tone. It
was a wonderful piano in every way. Naturally, when I came to buy a piano
myself, I would have nothing but a Lester."
LESTER
PLAYER-PIANOS
are built to sustain an enduring reputation. They are made to merit such con
fidence as this. Hundreds of families have sent their sons and daughters and
even grandchildren, to buy Lesters, because a Lester was a cherished possession
in their home.
Superior Lester craftsmanship makes that perfect tone, that wonderful
expression, that enduring quality.
And yet, being sold direct, the Lester costs no more than, manv of thr
inferior pianos now flooding the market. Easy, confidential 'terms Let s
show you how YOU can own a Lester without the slightest inconyenience
