Comfortable Glasses
for Summer
1
There is no necessity of glasses being
more uncomfortable in summer than in
cool weather. They ought to stay as
securely in place when one is hot and
moist, without pinching, pulling or cut
ting, as at any other time.
The care we take in fitting glasses to
the features assures comfortable glasses
at all times. So well is our work done,
you forget you are wearing glasses.
