Mr.. q. l.. Lang, Staunton's gradu-
ate optician, is preparing to take an
other step in the optical business by
arranging to grind lenses here in Staun-
ton at his place of business, so as to
be able to avoid the delays incident to
sending away for specially ground
glasses. He has purchased the me
chanical plant for use for this purpose,
which will be operated by an electric
motor. Mr.. Kennard is now in Phila-
delphia receiving instructions in mani
pulatiDg lenses, and within a short
time be will be ready to take up the
work here. This marks an advance
for Stanton, there being no optician
in the state west of Richmond who
does his own grinding.
