ANNOUNCEMENTS A
PLAuT.cADoEN COMPANY.

The PIaut- Cadden company, contin- ually on the alert for the latest inven- tions and developments applicable to the various departments of their large business, have lately installed in their optical department the most modern and up-to-da grindir~ machine for lenses that is now made. They have added this summer numerous new equipments for the accurate testing of the eyes in their dar4kroom-one of the best arranged departments of its kind in Connecttcut-and likewise for the fitting of glasses that will permanently relieve eye strain and incidentally in- crease the earning capacity as well as the comfort of vision for persons whose sight is not exactly normal.
 There is a difference broadly mark ed between the optometrist and the optician, though of course the layman is hardly expected to know 1t onhand. The optometrist is a man who makes a business of the science of correcting defects of vision with lenses. while the opeician is a man who has general understanding of optics and who. in addition. deals in the goods.
 The optical department of the Piaut- Ca.dden company has for years been under the experienced and careful guidance of John F. March, who is a member of the American Optical asso- ciation, and whose experience of 70 years in his chosen profession has fitted him to handle the most compli- ca4ed cases with absolute safety.
 His experience and skill have en- abIed him to substantially enlarge, modernize and perfect this department and he has a large number of personal letters from patients whose eyes1ght has been decidedly benefited and who are after all the best endorsement MT. March could reasonably require.
 The grinding plant and other equip ment added to the optical department cost the Piaut- -Cadden company large sum of money, but it is not the policy of this progressive house to consider the matter of expense when better service for its patrons Is avail able
 The plant has a grinding capacity of four lenses at once. Only ten min utess Is required for the process and each shape of lense of course has it's own distinctive pattern. The chance of a misft is reduced to the smallest possible minimum.
 The optical department is doing more work each month than it did the month before. Its growth has been consistently based on the results at tained through a conscientious desire to relieve eye troubles of those that have called on it seeking relief.
 Although Mir. March gives all his time to the work of the optical depart ment. Stephen W. Hall, who, like MT. March, has been a Plaut-Cadden man Tor some years. is also a graduate op- HciS.n.

Addresses Large Audience in I'm

Ex-Governor Patterson spoke here
Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Opera
House on the subject of law and re-
form. He was greeted with packed
house, many of his old-time political
enemies being present and much inter-
ested listeners. He compared the liquor
question to the slave traffic OF ante-bel-
lum days, pleading that the South lead
the movement to free the union from
whisky slavery. 1t must, however, be
national movement and Congress
must support it. The mayors were
held responsible for the conditions in
Nashville and Memphis. Governor Pat
terson stated that those who heard him
here some years ago might wonder at
his declarations and doubt his sincerity,
but his course had been directed by
Almighty Providence and his con-
science was clear. Matters not what
some people might think Of the en-
forcement bills. They are the laws Of
the State and should be enforced. He
held his audience enchained for two
hours, stating in the course Of his re-
marks that he was not candidate for
any office, and if he should ever be
again, he did not know it. He was
heartily applauded.
