two blocks, later taking oft lor an in

Child? kW
There are many grown-up folks today wearing
glasses who would have perfect vision and in no need
: of such if their parents had been more careful when
they were young, correcting minor faults with only
’ ■■ temporary use of properly fitted glasses.
How about your child today? If in doubt bring ’j
the child here for thorough examination. We will tell Ij
। you honestly whether the child’s eyes need attention. j
