All over the Bell telephone system, thousands of employes are busily engaged in all branches of telephone activity, to keep pace with the extraordinary telephone needs of the Nation. The greater and more varied the Government's war activities become, the greater will be the demands upon tho Bell system for service. And with the increased Government require ments, there will be greater demands for com mercial service. Not only is there a great scarcity of materials, but there is a similar scarcity of labor, and already many of our technically trained em ployes men who cannot be replaced have joined the colors. As time goes on it will become continually harder to meet the demands for service from Governmental and private sources,-and our patrons are asked to bear this extraordinary condition in mind and to help in the mdin-i tenance of an effective service by eliminating all unnecessary and wasteful use of telephone lines and equipment.

When None But the Very Wealthy Could Own a Piano When the joy of participation in the rendering of music was confined either to the exceedingly rich or the extremely gifted each a very small class there were only two or three makes of pianos, and they were little known by the great mass of the people. The big throbbing heart of the Commonwealth never beat, as it does today, to the finer, more artistic impulses of the world's famous composers, because a good piano cost as much as a house. The means of transmitting' the pleasing melody and ennobling inspiration of the great masters were beyond the reach of the family in ordinary circumstances. Then Came the Lester Piano It was conceived for the good of the great majority to bring pleasure and entertainment, hope and inspiration, profit and advancement to thousands of homes tnat were denied these benefits before. It broke down the barrier of high prices and enabled the man of moderate means to own as good a piano as his wealthiest neigh bora distinctly high-grade instrument. In line with the dominant idea, particular attention was paid to its durability It lasts. Its full, rich, mellow tone lasts. Its delicate, quickly responding action lasts The materials and workmanship that enter into its construction throughout make it last a lifetime, and its artistic qualities are recognized .by the best musicians every. From This Beginning Grew the Wonderful Lester Small Grand OCCUPYING NO MORE ROOM THAN AN UPRIGHT, this marvelous instrument contains all the depth of tone, glorious sonority and magnificent color of the largest grands. It is used and warmly praised by the world's greatest artists Among those most enthusiastic over its artistic qualities are Olive Fremstad, world's leading soprano; our own beloved Louise Homer; G. Campanari and Herr Alfred Hertzof the Metropolitan Opera; Alice Nielsen, Bella Alten, Margaret Ober, Flor ence Hmkle and scores of others whose names are household words wherever music is appreciated. It is the hallmark of musical quality the tery essence of piano per fection. Its touch is so delicate that a child can produce tones that equal those of the largest grands. It is the ideal Home Grand. The intrinsic merit of Lester Pianos is proven by their popularity. From a third-story back room on Chestnut Street, our first factory, turning out only a few pianos a year, we have grown into one of the largest piano - making concerns in the world. Our mammoth factories today cover 20 acres and are equipped with the most' modern methods for the manufacture of pianos and player-pianos.
