Plain Talk Optieiat. . If you ordered an egg for your breakfast you woulld flot be satisfied with a "fairly good" one. You want the best and that's riglit. SWhy not carry ont the same Kwise mile in seleeting glasses. The muscles of the eyes are the niost sensitive and the most delicate in the whole human f rame. Glasses a shade too strong or a shade too weak mean mis- ,chief. Accuracy is our infallible rule. Had we not realized the neeessity of absolute accuracy we would flot have spent hun- dreds of dollars in attending the three best optical colleges in America, neither would we have snýent hundreds of dollars in purchasing the most scientific instrument s known to the pro- fession for examining the eyes. It is to our interest to please our patrons. It is to your in- terest to deal with us. All ftting doue free. You simply pay for the glasses and get lowest possible prices. STOTI & JURY.
