Mr. 1 lawk os lias all the modern
appliances for the scientific ad justment
of Speotacles and Eye-Glasses to the
eye. There is no Optician in the
I iiited Slates who enjoys the con¬
fidence ol the people more than Mr.
Ilawkes. Mis name is a familiar word
throughout a section of the country
inhabited by over twenty-live millions
ol people. Mr. Ilawkes has probably
litted glasses to the eyes of more peo¬
ple ol national and international fame
than any other Optician living. Ills
wonderful success is due to his superior
grade of glasses, and to the confidence
the people have in his ability as a
practical Optician. This firm was cs
tablished in 1870, nearly thirty years
ago.
