The Old Songs and the New
Delight Three Generations
There isn't any one thing about a hornc that gives somuch general
pleasure as a Player-Piano. Everybody enjoys it. Not o"nly the whole
family, from grandfather down to the smallest child, but all friends who
drop in of an evening for a social hour. Tho
LESTER PLAYER-PIANO
is the ideal player for any home, because it is easiest to pedal, easiest to
accent and gives the widest range of expression of any player-piano made.
It has no confusing levers. It is a Philadelphia product and has the in
dorsement of leading teachers and musicians of national reputation.
The Lester Player-Piano is the best ice can make, the best anybody
in the world can make. But, being sold direct, it. is just as easy for you to
own a LESTER as one of the inferior, nondescript kinds, for we elimi'
nate all the "in-between" profits of jobbers and agents. By our confiden
tial easy-payment plan very little cash is required. Let us show you how
conveniently you can have a Lester Player in your home this Christmas.
Invest your Christmas Saving Club savings in something substantial,
lasting. Don't fritter them away this year. Liberty Bonds taken samo
as cash. Full value allowed on your silent upright in exchange.
