Our New Home
In The Penn-Harris Hotel Building
Will Be Open Tomorrow, Thursday
y HIS is a step forward in our career of which we
are justly proud. This is the result of our
efforts, since we came to Harrisburg, of giving an
optical service to the people of this community high _
in ideals.
-H AVING had years of experience in the profession
and being thoroughly familiar with the various
methods of conducting the optical business and hav
ing seen the results of various kinds pf business —
many kinds of which can be seen toda£ —we decided
when we launched in the optical business in this city
to render a service which we could always look upon v
as being high class.
'JO HAT our policy has been appreciated by the pub
lic is most emphatically attested by the success
we have attained. /
do not point to our success boastfully, but we
do point to it because our success iheans as
much to you as it does to us —it means that your con
fidence in us is merited. , v
Tomorrow We Open Our New Home in
the Penn-Harris Hotel Building, With
Quarters Modernized in Every Respect
YXTE especially invite you to consult us ahout your \
eyes. If they are defective we will tell you so;
if you do not need glasses we will be very frank to
admit it; if you do need glasses we will give you the
very highest type of optical service, determining the
condition of your eyes, with our delicate, modern
optical instruments.
our service is on the highest plane, our
prices are always reasonable. You well know
that the best is the most economical in the long run.
Our optical service is unquestionably the best.
