3. Any amounts which are payable to a minor under this will may at
the discretion of my executors be paid either to a parent or guardian of
scuch minor, to the person with whom such minor is residing, or directly to
such minor, or may be applied for the use or benefit of such minor.
4. I direct that all estate, inheritance and succession taxes that
may be assessed in consequence of my death, of whatever nature and by what-
ever jurisdiction imposed, shall be paid out of the principal of my general
estate to the same effect as if said taxes were expenses of administration;

6. I grant to my fiduciaries and their successors the following
powers, in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as they may hold
by law:
(a) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks,
bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal,
notwithstanding that such investments may not be of the charac-
ter allowed to fiduciaries by statute or general rules of law,
it being my intention to give them the broadest investment
powers possible.
(b) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real
or personal, at any time forming a part of my estate, for cash
or upon credit, in such manner and on such terms and conditions
as they may deem best, and no person dealing with them shall be

ment of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms
and conditions as to them may seem best, and to execute and
deliver all instruments and to do all acts which they may deem
necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my will.
7. I appoint as executor hereunder, my husband, John F. Ludwig. If
he is unable or unwilling to serve, I appoint my son, Jeffrey P. Ludwig, to
- 2 -
serve in his place. If Jeffrey should be unable or unwilling to serve, I

executor and I also appoint Commonwealth National Bank to serve as guardian
of the property of any minor or incompetent beneficiaries under this will,
under any policies of insurance on my life, and in any other situation where
the power to make such appointment exists under the laws of Pennsylvania.
No individual fiduciary serving hereunder shall be required to furnish bond
or other security for the proper performance of his duties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, DORIS L. LUDWIG, herewith set my hand and seal
to this my last will, typewritten on four sheets of paper, including the
