Dear Public: When your eyes need
attention, ask yourself this question:
What man within reach of me is best
qualified to examine my eyes?
My Inducement to You Is This:
l do not ask you to read letters on
a chart across the room and pick out
your own glasses. I examine the
interior of your eyes and determine by
my own skill what lenses are required
to correct your trouble. This is the
highest degree of skill known TO the
optical world, and you folks particul-
arly whose eyes are hard to fit will
find that my work will satisfy.
