DO YOU NEED GLASSES ?
If You Do Here's Something
to Remember

The right kind of lenses will help

The right kind will stop headaches.
The wrong kind win give you more
A careful, thorough examination is
important and often shows that many
who think they need glasses are better
off without them.
Such people need my advice-not my
glasses.
My work, you see, is not to sell
glasses as glasses, but to give you the
benefit of my knowledge to supply
glasses only when glasses are needed.
GA think is worth precisely what it
can do for YOU, not what you pay for
it," says Ruskin.
| The cost of my glasses is based on
the value they are to you in helping
you to see better.
In this day of trained men, it is econ
omy to engage the services Of trained
man.
After engaging the services of a
trained man, it is waste of money to
buy cheap glasses fitted by unframed
men in the hope that you will save
money.
Cheap glasses are made TO make
money for those who sell them.
Good glasses are made to make good
for those who wear them.
