Andy Has A
Two-Way Ticket'
Red Fowler was pretty mad when
he found he couldn’t put up a
garage on his place over on Elm
Street without a building permit.
“It’s my property," he was tell
ing us, over a friendly glass of
beer at Andy's Garden Tavern. “I
ought to be able to do whatever I
please with it.”
"Hold on,” says Andy. “That
permit protects you. as much as
your neighbors. Like my license to
sell beer. It carries obligations I
have to live up to, but it also pro
tects me from other tavern keepers
who might give this business a bad
name.” Then Andy tells him how
through the Brewers’ Program of
Self-Regulation, the Brewing In
dustry cooperates in maintaining
clean, wholesome surroundings for
the sale of beer and ale.
From where I sit, none of ns
would want the right to do exactly
as he pleased without regard for
the rights of others, once the other
fellow started doing whatever he
pleased without regard for us.

Gilbert Optical Co. Can Fit Your Eyes
For Glasses or Fill Prescriptions for them
"The New Browline” is the
name of the latest style in eye
glass frame, according to Gilbert
Cohen > director of Gilbert Optical
Co. at 204 Mitchell Street.
This latest feature in the lineage
of the evolving and changing
frame combines the currently
popular massiveness of tortoise
shell for the upper portion of the
front frames, while the lower half
of the glasses themselves are
cradeled in metal.
The arrangement prevents any
vision from being obscured or dis
torted Mr. Gilbert says.
Frames, however, are not the
primary function of Gilbert Opti
cal Company
The place is equipped to give
examination of eyes and fitting of
glasses to meet various types of
vision requirements. Special at
tention is given to individual
needs.
In addition, Gilbert’s can fill
any prescription for glasses from
any optician, giving the most
scrupulous attention and care to
the proper grinding of lenses to
doctor’s orders.
