We owe it ta ourselves and ta others. The value of any correction lu noticeably appreciated and some only need ta lny aside their cor- rection for a short tume ta realize its real value. Many people say it is the value oh the glasses; but is it nat rather the value af Op- tametry or Optametric service? It is through the Optometrit and his examination that the correc- tion or glasses corne into exist- ence. If you or any af your family need glasses because you are be- law par physically, you need the service and efficient examînatian hrom which a satisfactary-correc- tion may spring.
