-Give your child
a fair chance
Before the children begin school work ;
be sure they are under no handicap of
vision.
Have the eyes examined at Clinton's.
Then you will know the exact condition
of the children's eyes.
Glasses will not be advised unless they
are needed to make the printed page or
blackboard writing clearer.
The only way you can be sure your child
is getting a fair chance in school is
to have the eyes examined by an expert
eye specialist. Clinton's optometrist is
such a specialist, especially trained
in examining children's eyes.

A' Sermon On Lumber
In conclusion my friends, we can't get away from
this lumber question. Why, every one of us
spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber.
Our lives have been lived between walls of two
by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads,
and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have
been sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden
tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course
of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets.
Lumber is King In the Construction World.
