Eyes thai strain to see, sap your energy. You arow tired as the hours go by. Your movements become slower . . . and slow movements at a fast-moving machine mean danger. Preserve your energy with good vision that let's you work easily and without undue effort, let your evenings mean more to you than just time off to rest up in for the next day's work. Enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure: moke sure your eyesight's right. Have it examined; if need be, corrected. Dr. Leonard Fitch OPTOMETRIST 112 No. 5th Phone 41
