PROF. MAYNE ARNOLD HERE TO
STAY.
"And such master of his bow 'tis
said his arrows never miss. WIN
Tell.
We never forget the stories told us
in childhood days of the Swiss patriot
VIM. Tell, or England's Robin Hood
the legends of their skill in archery
bordering on the miraculous.
What is said of their marvellous
skill can be truthfully said Of Prof
Mayne Arnold's eye-ftting. His
glasses never miss. And why? The
Professor was specially educated for
his specially (the eye) for four years
at the worlds greatest eye college,
the Royal Ophthalmic College OF
Moorfields, London. There is also
the added education of fifty-two years
experience with eyes.
We all know there is no education
like experience. So much for PROT
Arnold's skill.
When Prof. Arnold first came to Os-
kaloosa "it was conundrum," even
with all his skill, whether in his chos-
en- speciality, the human eye, it would
pay him to remain.
The people had so often been vic.
timized by the pretenses of flake op'
ticians," nearly all Of whom declared
intentions. of remaining permanently
but instead, after securing few
dupes, departed between two days
leaving their patrons disappointed
and sadder, but, let us hope, wiser
people.
The fact that the Professor has rec
concentrations from the entire medi
cal faculty Of hundreds of cities as
well as medicaA colleges, schools OF
science, blind institutes, &C., such as
no other optician of America can ex
hibit, helped him to a fairly good
business from the first.
What is more gratifying, his trade
has improved ever since and now
Prof. Arnold is recognized as the
most successful optician of Iowa
People come to him daily with the
most complicated and difficult eye
troubles, many from fifty to two hun.
dred miles, and but few are disap.
pointed. Those he can not help are
dismissed free, after a valuable eye
examination.
Prof. Arnold has heretofore held out
the idea that probably he might leave
oskaloosa for a larger city at any
time
His business is now so prosperous,
so many are coming to consult him as
to their eyes, not only from the cities
of Abba, Ottumwa, Creston, Wash.
ington, Sigourney, Des Moines, Cen,
terville, but from other points hun.
dreds of miles away, that Prof Mayne
Arnold announces he has positively
decided to remain in Oskaloosa per.
manently. The writer knows that all
will be delighted with this decision,
for the Professor has during his en-.
tire stay been Oskaloosa's favorite op-
tician.
In addition to his great success
here hundreds of the best and most
eminent people OF Oskaloosa not only
patronized him, but have kindly ad.
vised him to cast his lot here for
good. They have also encouraged
him by commencing their family and
nearest friends to place their eyes
under Professor Arnold's care. Now
let it be understood Prof.ArnoId stays
in Oskaloosa. In the future as in the
past he will be honest and truthful,
and his skill, everyone knows about
it. That has been proven for two
years in Oskaloosa.
Every customer gets the benefit of
the Professors trained Judgment, as
also the best glasses on earth at a
trifing cost, as compared with benefit
eyes and health frequently receive.
To help poor eyes am here to stay.
MAYNE ARNOLD,
Oskalocsa1s Optician and Eyelsight
Specialist.
