This is President
Wilson s appeal C
M. il J.. 011
iu mc mausiries n
of the country
and to every
American man,
woman and child
The greatest service you can
perform for your Rovernmenl is
to keep on doing just what you
did before war wan declared
multiplied by two.
Do twice as much work
twice as well. Go quietly
about your affairs and pur
sue your inclinations in full
commence, ll you arc needed tlf
j or anyimnrj cisc you will be
called. But in the meantime
you will serve best by living
just as you did a month ago
working harder, but pur
suing all legitimate means
of recreation and enjoyment.
Howard E. Coffin, member of
the advisory commission of the
Council of National Defense, put
his finger upon the country's
greatest need when he said:
"Until the call comes it is best
to stick to the job. Let us make
'Better Business our watchword
and keep our factory fires burn
ing. We must have successful in
dustries if successful tax levies
are to be received."
The Great Lester
Factories Are Run
ning Full Time
For months we have been ad
vertising for additional help to
take care of our rapidly increas
ing business. We want more men
and women. The skilled crafts
men in the mammoth Lester fac
tories are doing their utmost to
obey the President's injunction
"more prolific and efficient." But
they need assistance.
No more useful occupation
can be found. Our people
need music. They demand it.
They cannot get along with
out it. Can you imagine
what sort of a country this
would be without music? It
is the main spring of pa
triotism. Have you been in
a theatre recently when the
orchestra struck up "the
Star Spangled Banner"?
In the army, on the ships of
our navy, in the home, music is
the power that enables us to
endure hardships, that, inspires
us to greater effort and grander
accomplishments.
This is our contribution to the
necessities of the present. Tho
famous Lester Grand, Upright
and Player-Pianos were never Tli
better made than now, were never j
mum luny .iiijutxuauu tiiuu mm, ,.
never sold faster than they are $
now selling.
All of which is proof that
the people of this community
today are to be trusted im
plicitly to uphold with honor
the traditions of which this
city is so justly proud.
Compare any style Lester
Piano Grand, Upright or
Player-Piano with all the lead-,
ing mnkes and you will see that
it is far superior-to the others
in every point. And yet, with all
its great superiority, it is as easy
to own a Lester as one of the
many inferior makes, because it
is sold direct on easyconfidential
terms. No jobbers' or agents'
profits for you to pay. Let us
show you how conveniently you
can own a Lester.
