Buying Glasses
Buying glasses is not —or at
least should not be, a commer
cial proposition. You do not go
where you get the biggest lenses
or the largest frames for the
money, any more than you would
employ a physician who would
give you the largest quantity of
medicine, or the dentist who
would put the largest filling in
your tooth for the least money.
You should go to your optometrist
for his professional ability—high
grade service, the proper cor
rection of your eye trouble und'
the most becoming and service
able frame or mounting. You go
to him for satisfaction and com
fort.
