I
Eye Glass Frames
The fitting of framc3 is as important as the fitting of
lenses, for the lenses cannot give ease and comfort if the
frames or mountings are improperly adjusted. In many
cases glasses do not give relief hecause of frame being too
narrow or too wide, loo high or too low; and if your glasses
should get bent so that one lens is higher than the other they
will give you trouble. Optometrists arc proficient
mechanics and are fully equipped and informed in making
such measurements as are required in fitting frames.
Optometrists arc the only ones required by law to qualify
in this branch of eye treatment.

Mutual Building &Loan Assl,
OF NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA.
ASSETS $840,000.00
To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers;
Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver
tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments
of borrowers to SI. 10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed,
making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build
ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state
that of the SI. 10 paid to the non-resident company, there is
only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, th6
balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest. Of the
$1.10 monthly payment to this association on each $100.00
borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited
as a principal payment.
This difference in the amount credited the borrower
will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be
ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each
$100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they
would if they were doing the business with this Association.
