Optical Firm Charged
With hFaIseAdyertisinq
In FTC Complaint
Photographic Company
Also Is Accused of
Deceptive Sales Practices

The Federal Trade Commission
has filed complaint against the
Hlllyard Optical Co., which operates
several stores in the District, charg-
ing it with misrepresentation in the
sale Of eyeglasses, lenses and frames.
The commission yesterday also or
dered Victor Klein, trading as United
Art Studios, 1915 G street Sc, to re-
frain from what it charges is the
use of false and deceptive practices
in the sale and distribution of
Photographic enlargements and
frames.
Named in the complaint with Ber-
nard Hillyard were his father, Fran
els r. Hillyard, ST.; Francis r. Hill
yard, jr., and Frederick C. Hillyard
and John Giddings, an employe of
the Hillyards before February l.,
1943. The company operates stores
at 1926 Georgia avenue NV, TIL G
street NV. and 521 H street NE.
The FTC complaint said the Hill
yards falsely represent the company
as having been in existence more
than 40 years, whereas it has been
in existence only about three years.
Bernard Hillyard said they adver-
used that the elder Hillyard had
been associated with the optometry
business 40 years. His father, he
said, was charter member of the
District of Columbia Optometric
Society, but had since resigned.
Prejudice Is Charged.
Bernard Hillyard characterized
the complaint as "prejudiced prop
osition" probably induced by the
fact that the company advertises.
The optometric society frowned on
this, he said, and attempted to dis
courage it. He said whatever we
advertise we can back up 100 per
cent"
The FTC complaint asserted that
the Hillyards advertised free exam
nations, but that they were not
free "as the charge for the exam
ination Is included in the price for
the glasses, and if no glasses are
purchased nevertheless charge for
the examination is made" Mr. Hill
yard denied the allegation. He said
there was no obligation on the part
of a customer if he decided not to
buy glasses.
The FTC also accused the COM
pany of falsely advertising special"
prices which actually are regular
and continuing offers made for an
indefinite time, and that the prices
stated in their advertisements to be
regular prices are fictitious and
greatly in excess of regular retail
prices" Mr.. Hillyard, however, said
that the company had made an in
vestigation and ascertained that its
advertising was correct.
Optometrist Is Not Worried.
The optometrist said he was mot
worried" by the allegations and that
he had turned the matter over to
the firms attorney.
I'VE have examined 10000 peo-
pies eyes in the last several years."
he said, "and in that time have had
only eight court cases. There are
complaints in every business. They
are not unusual because you can't
satisfy everybody, but we do our
best"
In the Klein case the respondent,
according to the FTC complaint,
canvassed homes with a special
Introductory offer" to a limited,

The surface Of any metal

II scientists know just how
these metal atoms distribute
