While, perhaps with many people, the
main object of using Bank Protection for
the odd ends of their income is to accumu
late small sums into a useable lump sum,
there is a broader and more constructive
principle involved—the building of a Bank
Credit, getting oneself in a position where
the banker can help one to get ahead.

Our Bank Account Plan and make use of

Eye glass comfort depends on
three conditions: Careful selection
of lenses by an oculist, accurate
grinding of lenses to the highest
j linish and accurate adjustment of
| lenses to each eye. The latter im
i portant condition I consider the
most difficult for the general opti
cian to obtain, on account of the
distance between the eyes and be
cause the shape and size of the
i nose vary in each individual. The
| art of accurate fitting therefore
tbecomes a scientific and mechani
cal combination, and in this art I
offer for you the greatest induce
ment. Children’s spectacles should
be frequently adjusted to their
eyes, as their growth demands it
The adjustment receives my care
ful consideration and attention.
Free consultation at my office at
