HEADS DIRECTORS
LESSING J. ROSENWALD
When death removed Julius Rosen
wald, chairman of the board of Sears,
Roebuck and Co., he was succeeded
in office by a man whose ability had
been proved by a brilliant record of
success with the company.
That man is hts son, Lessing i.
Rosenwald.
The chairman of the Sears board
resembles this father in versatility, tn
painstaking attention to every detail
of the business for whioh he is res
ponsible and in thorough preparation
for his responsibility. Nor would a
description be complete without men
tioning that, like his father, Lessing
Rosenwald is a lover of the arts and
a lover of his fellow men.
He spends a large part of his time
traveling between his three offices In
Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York,
yet he has found time to gather one
of the finest collections of etchings
in the United States. He is conversant
with all the operations of a $107,000,-
000 corporation, yet he is a bibiophile
of recognized standing an authority
on old prints. He is familiar with buy
ing activities that involve the pur
chase of hundreds of millions of dol
lars’ worth of merchandise for more
than 12,000,000 American homes, yet
he participates actively in administer
ing charitable organizations whose
benefactions mount into millions.

FIREMEN STRIKE
IN IOWA VILLAGE
KEOSAUQUA, lowa, June 24 (TP)
—The strike of Keosauqua’s 20 volun
teer firemen brought an assortment
of warnings to citizens today from
Mayor W. B. Newbold.
The firemen clashed with the city
council over what garage should be
selected for their fire truck. Unable
to come to an agreement, the smoke
eaters promply declared they would
not answer a fire alarm until the
matter is settled.
Mayor Newbold issued warning*
that the town’s 1,000 residents should
not burn rubbish or weeds during
the strike. He also asked that no one
smoke in bed.
