Are Your Eyes
Valuable to
You?

If so, allow us to call your at
tention to these facts:
That more eyes are injured by
the injudicious use of glasses than
by any other known cause.
That a great many people are
wearing spectacles unsuitable for
them, and for which their eyes
have not been properly tested.
That the old-fashioned and I'M
scientific methods of testing the
eyes by trying on various spec
tacles of different strengths until
the sight is suited is, to say the
least of it, dangerous.
That proper lenses and correctly
fitting frames are absolutely es-
sontial for comfortable spectacle
wearing.
We test each eye separately and
ut the frame to each individual
case. as experience has shown that
only by these methods can a salts
factory result be obtained.
