A Year to Try Them.
That is our motto and slogan,
1t means that every pair OF pre-
scription lenses fitted by us must
be perfect-must give the wearer
absolute aud unconditional Hatis-
faction, and that he or she has
ONE YEAR to find out if they
are satisfactory. You will agree
this is fair; that it is liberal, be-
cause anyone should know in
years use il his glasses are salts
factory. This feature of our SER
vice is invaluable to you, because
you are absolutely certain that.if
your glasses are not all desired in
the first instance they are made
SO without further obligation on
your part. OF course, if we had
to send away for u g%lasses-if
we had to mail order them-we
could give no such liberal guaran-
tee, because of the well-known
uncertainty Of correct grinding
where the prescriber is not pres
ent to oversee and dictate. Really
this is the principal reason we
have to retit so many people after
they have paid for glasses else
where. So don't be too severe
with the person who has to mail
order your glasses. Quite often
he is not TO blame for his mistits
he is not, cannot be present
when they are being fitted, SO be
charitable with the mistakes that
occur in his mail order glasses
mistakes in lenses, in style, kind
QUALITY and fit of frames.
