ARE YOU INCLUDED HERE7


 Many people in Newport are wear ing old style and ill-fitting glasses, which were fitted years ago. Style in glasses change as in many other things. What do you think of a 1910 model automobile? A 1910 model pair of glasses are just as much out of style. Keep your old glasses for emergency and get fitted up with a pair of late model glasses. We can fit you correctly in the new style Shell Rim Glasses. If you ap- preciate correctness in your glasses keep me in mind.
