District Manager In order to clesr up a misunderstanding among the people as to the condition of the eyes I want to say a few words to you so there will be less worry about your eyes. In the first place, anyone forty years old or more unable to read or sew without glasses, this condition is not a sickness or bad eyes. It is merely an abnormal condition which can well be corrected with a good pair of glasses. Of course younger people have their eyes examined and we find they are either short sighted, long sighted or we find that condition causes astigmatism. If you or your children have astigmatism that doesn't mean by any means that your eyes are bad or sick. Astigmatism is merely a Latin word to indicate abnormal shape of an eye or an eye which is not perfectly round. This eye is generally as good as any other eye, but the patient is unable to see as clearly. Nervousness, dizziness, head aches may be due to astigmatism. The greatest possible injury you bring on yourself is by buying ready made glasses. You never know what you've got until your eyes are ruined. Go to a reliable scientific optometrist, who does nothing else but test eyes and make gl^s^es. I don't use apy drugs in your eyes and my work in this township seems to be very much appreciated. I have examined eyes for thirty years and also grind my own glasses. If you have trouble with your eyes come any Monday afternoon between 12:00 and 3:00 o'clock. I will give you an examination. If you dont need glasses I will honestly tell you so. My McHenry office is located in my summer home in the Lasch subdivision on the west side of Fox river, within two blocks north of the river bridge. Always ^all up before you come. Dr. C.

It interests--satisfies! It is one of the most delightful experiences imaginable! Delightful because Gulbransen music is so expressive! So full of feeling--so full of life-- you take a personal pride in producing it! Accenting, for instance. That's important! For in any. piece you play there's a strain of "melody" you must pick out and accent properly, to give it a pleasing rendition. But, where are the melody notes? In what part of the key board do they occur? With the ordinary player-piano that's a real problem. But by observing the melody Indicator-- a simple- and convenient little patented guide--you know where the accent notes are, and just where to accent them, on the Gulbransen! The Melody Indicator greatly simplifies correct playing. In combination with sensitive "pedaltouch" and Gulbransen Instruction Rolls, it is the thing that makes musicianly playing possible!
