In a recent chat with Prof. Arnold.
the optieion, a Herald repre-
sentative was astonished at being
shown list of over one hundred per
sons who had been in consultation
with that gentleman regarding their
eyes, and to whom he had refused to
sell glasses for cause-either for th9
reason that their eyes were good
enough and needed no artificial help;
because the glasses they were wear
ing We're answering the purpose, or
else because their eyes were so poor
glasses would not help them, Prot.
Arnold's methods Of dealing honestly
with the public. is so rare among
travelling opticians that the fact Is
deemed worthy Of special comment,
and of impressing upon those whose
eyes are needing attention that for
once they have the opportunity to
deal with a square man, one who
Is competent to do them good II
they need it and honest enough TO
refuse their money if he cannot ben
eft them. Experience has taught that
the average optician, like the quaCk
doctor or transient peddler, devotes
his main energies to getting hold Of
victims, and after that he can be re-
lied upon to skin them to finish
In the case of Prof. Arnold there
are two things to be considered: 1st,
ne does not belong TO the travelling
or transient class of ocuIists. He set
ties in community indefinitely
just as long as he is needed. He fixes
his standing in q business way when
he comes and maintains it to the end.
I'd, he proves his reliability and skill
in properly fitting glasses. When you
think of it, how few men there are II
his profession who have done this.
Every one knows that from the earli-
est settlement of Oskaloosa down to
the present time no oculist or opti.
clan who has visited here has given
satisfaction. This Prof. Arnold can
and will do He absolutely makes no
mistakes and no failures and will
give all he promises in every case.
Prof. Arnold in his young manhood
spent four years in the leading optl-
cal institution of the old world. Upon
this foundation are 46 years of act
ual experience in testing the eyes
and fitting glasses thereto. He there
fore possesses all that experience and
skill can give to one in his profes-
sion.
Citizens of Oskaloosa and vicinity
who need the services of an optician
can go to Prof. Arnold in perfect con-
fidence. They can know that the ser
vice he renders will be the best that
can possibly be done for them: they
can rely upon his integrity and
know that If he cannot benefit them
he will not take their money. An
other thing should be borne in mind
Prof. Arnold's time in oskaloosa Is
limited His field is wide and invit-
ing, Call on him while the oppor-
tunity is present; it will not last
long. ..-yr ...
