SCRANTON. Pa, Oof. 4-Jud, Eugene
a Bonnlwsll. of Philadelphia, 'assailed the
Board of Underwriters In Philadelphia In
his annuat report as president of the State
Firemen's Association, submitted at the
v-uuioiuion oeing neid here today. The
delegates are electing omcers. Judge Bon
nlwetl Is opposed for re-election by George
S. Weir, of Sharpsburg.
The Judge's comment upon the activities
of tho underwriters follow:
"This association at Chester, Harrlebarg
and Philadelphia successively pledged Its
support to a bill designed to curb and reg.
ulate In some reasonable fashion the au
tocratla powers of the so-called Board of
Underwriters. This board, which la In no
sense a publle body and which Is at present
In no way amenable to correction or amend
ment, flies for each Individual and each
community a fire rate frequently capricious,
often discriminatory, and never equitable,
and by a process hidden from public, knowl
edge. "A single Illustration will sufflce. In the

Memories of Long Ago
m
are recalled as you sit in the mellow firelight and
listen to the old melodies that stirred your soul
in years gone by.
What is more pleasant than to gather your family about
your own fireside while one of the children plays on your
Lester Player-Piano such favorites as "When You and I Were
Young, Maggie," "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Home,
Sweet Home"?
LESTER
PLAYER-PIANOS
have made 75,000 homes throughout the United States happier
and better by bringing the solace and inspiration of good music
to almost half a million persons.
The Lester is the ideal home player because it is easiest to
pedal, easiest to own, lasts longer and keeps its tone better
than any other player-piano made. It is easiest to own because
it is made entire in our mammoth factories and sold direct
without any "in-between" profits to jobber or agent. Let us
show you how convenient it is to own a Lester.
