SCHOOL DAYS

Don't send your child to school
until you KNOW whether or not its
EYESIGHT is normal.
Your child's eyes play most i'm.
portant part in its ability to study.
Defective eyesight is very frequent
cause of apparent dullness or Stu.
pidity in your children.
Glasses worn in childhood avoid
in many instances, their constant use
in later years.
We are Licesnec and Registered
Optometrists of many years expert
ence, and if your child does not need
glasses we will tell you so.
Our reputation and standing are
sufficient assurance that we will not
prescribe glasses unless your child's
eyes can be benefited.
Let US examine your children s
eyes Thoroughly before sending them
to school.
