Don't Cheat Your Eyes
There is no sense so precious as that of eyesight No
function of the human body gives us so much joy and
pleasure as the sense of seeing and yet less than half
the people who need glasses are wearing them.
If you have never worn glasses or if you have ex-
perienced a disappointment in having your eyes cor-
rectly fitted come straight taus and you will soon be
able to enjoy life through full seeing power.
If In doubt about your eyes do not hssltsts ws
will tall you the truth ss regards their condition.

This stock originally came out at $31.00 per '
share and advanced to $74-00 The stockholder
about this time were allowed to .subscribe to 50
per cent of their holdings at $47.50 per share.
The stock afterwards declined from $74.00 to
$14.00 and is now about $18.00.
Recent developments are such that it is our
belief that the low has been reached and mat
there is a prospective profit of it least 10 points
in it at present prices.
