An Optical Plant for Mexico.
Another enterprise that will be
of great benefit to the residents
of this community will shortly be
established by one of our most
prominent business firms.
Mr. W. 1). Hunter, of the Merry
Optical Company, yesterday
closed a contract with the It. R.
Worrell Jewelry Company, for
the installation of a complete out
fit of automatic lens grinding ma
chinery, including cutters, edgers,
polishers and drillers, all to be
operated by an electric motor.
Mr. Worrell stated that the
growth of his firms optical busi
ness in the fitting and repairing
of plasses necessitated the instal-
ation of modern automatic ma
chinery.
"We will carry a complete
lock of lens in the rough state,"
said Mr. Worrell, "and cut any
size or shape in both inserts and
rimless that a customer may
want.
"This will enable us to supply
a cylindrical or compound lens in
a few hours and will eliminate the
upleasant delay made necessary
by having to send to the factory
to match or replace a broken lens
There will be no necessity for
anyone going to the city to get
their glasses, as wel will be able
to supply not only our own cus
tomers. but also the oculists and
opticians in the surrounding ter
ritory.
"Optical machinery is very ex
pensive and the large additional
stock we will carry means quite
an investment, but we believe the
reputation of The House of
Quality must be maintained by
keenine up to date in every de
partment."
