Above selfish
interest
Clinton advises and furnishes glasses
only when they aid or improve vision.
Your eyes and our profession are held '
above selfish interest.
Wo are humanly interested in your eye
troubles, professionally interested in
the correct scientific solution of the
problem presented.
We depend on thoroughly satisfying each ,
customer. That, not "selling glasses,"
is why our optical business shows an ever
increasing growth,
Customers return whenever occasion re
quires, and recommed us to their friends.
