A happier summer
You wil enjoy the outdoors season ,
more if you wear tinted lenses which
take away the glare of bright light
and remove eye strain.
Modern tinted lenses give clear,
distinct sight. They improve vision,
and in the lighter shades readily
pass for ordinury optical glass.
You can secure tinted lenses at
Clinton's ground to correct any de
fect in refraction.
