If you need glasses but DO not feel
like affording gold or gold filled frames
you can get them in a finely finished
alumnico frame for quite little less.
and exchange them afterwards. You
do not have TO throw them away. The
lenses can be quickly removed and in
serted in the new. If the alumnico
frame his not been broken or injured
l will allow you the original cost for
it. If you have old frames or pieces
OF frames that are solid gold you can
turn them in for what they will
weigh. They are as good as money to
me. If you have an old frame that is
not too badly broken. my manufac-
turing department can quite likely put
il into good condition for you and
make it as good as new. If your eyes
trouble you come in and see me any
