Lester. president of the Lester Ma ehinerv Company at Muskogee, Ok. to prove it Last year Mr Lester failed at Fort Smith for thousands of dollars. His friends were shocked They felt sorry for him 1t was his second big failure. His doctors predicted nervous col lapse. One bank in neighboring town wired him. Keep your nerve, we will do all we can for you" In two minutes Mr Lester wired the bank, If nerve is worth anything, I own the world" He does, and all know it who saw him in town last week making various machinery deals st
