Convertible Anastigmat f-6.8
There’s No Lens to Equal It
We have recently been comparing the Turner-Reich Convertible Anastigmat with the best lenses of other makers. We have compared it with the most expensive lens on the market, and we can honestly say the Turner-Reich is superior to any lenses we know of in every respect. The Series II Turner-Reich is the only Convertible Anastigmat with a working aperture of f-6.8 in all sizes. The single combinations show a finer correction than those of any other anastigmat lens.
The Turner-Reich is unequalled in covering power, rapidity and the ability to produce absolute definition. Its construction is theoretically and practically perfect. Even the best German lenses do not reach the standard of the Turner-Reich. Order a Turner-Reich for 10 days trial and it will prove every word of the above daims.

Bank Supervisors
The national convention of bank supervisors met at the Auditorium hotel. In •his annual address President Pierre Jay of Boston discussed banking reforms, beginning by stating that in the past year the safety of bank deposits has become a vital question, besides being made a major issue in a political campaign.
“The net result of this discussion,” said President Jay, “has been the election of a president pledged by his platform to create a postal savings bank, and the enactment of laws in South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas providing for the guaranty of deposits.
“We should be blind, indeed, if we did not see that in some parts of the country at least public opinion, which has thus found expression, is not altogether satisfied either with the conditions under which banking is at present carried on or with the measure of protection which bank supervision has thus far managed to give. For, rightly or wrongly, the public does hold bank supervision responsible for the solvency of banks, and certain notorious bank failures in recent years have not operated to increase confidence either in banking institutions or in the systems of supervision under which the failures occurred.

It was vest-pocket size and contained the full program for the convention, a detailed Chicago bank directory, a fine city map and a hundred blank pages for memoranda.
