A MISUNDERSTANDING
Because we have the reputation of doing the
highest class optical work in the South, some
have the idea we sell nothing but extremely
high priced glasses. It is true we sell more fine
gold glasses than any other optical house in the
United States for the amount of business we
do; it is also true that we can sell you as good
a pair of glasses for $2.50 as can be bought
anywhere for that amount of money. We give
you the same careful examination and care as
though you bought the most expensive glasses
we make, but if you need the service of an
oculist we will so advise. Ask anybody who
has dealt with us how we conduct our business.
