Today, April 17, 1912, marks the beginning of the 16th year in the successful optometric history in Rochester of Mr. E. 1 E. Arriugtou, proprietor of The Empire. Opt.eal 29 S.

Clinton opposite Lyceam Theater. Mr. Arrington has ample reason to feel justly proud of the past fifteen years' record of his well known office, the progressive persoul policy ef which is generally conceded to have been in no small part direetly responsible for the scientific a and successful methods which now prevail among those who legitimately specialize in this work. It is certain that in no other profession has more rapid progress been made. than in optometry or the non-medical (without drugs) examination of eyes for the prescribing of accurate glasses for the correction of defective vision, now regulated by statute law in twenty states and whose qualified practitioners are now generally known by the name of Registered Optometrists.

In all these years of continuing professional progress in the scientific correction of defective vision this office has constantly maintained its position in the very front rank of Optometry. When "Shur-Ons," that now decidedly favorite eyeglass mounting, was first offered to optometrists for introduction. Mr. Arrington was one of the first to realize their future possibilities and to advertise their many advantages and 15 result the makers entrusted to him their exclusive sale. in Western New York.

for the first few years, which well known fact justly entitled The Empire Optical Co. to consistently claim "We sold them first. we fit them best." Another incomparable optical improvement is the decidedly popular Deep Curve or Torie Lenses which are now rapidly superseding the older form of fat lenses. Tories greatly increase the extent of the wearer's vision by conforming more practically to the natural curve of the eyeball which enables them to set closer to the ere itself, without the lashes touching. Mr.

Arrington was consistently compelled to oppose from the first the use of any trade name for which has been attempted from time to time by opticians in certain cities who sought by the use of copyrighted names to create the impression that these perfeeted wide field lenses could not be procured anywhere else than from their designated establishments. And 38 a result of his progressive policy of always protecting the interests of wearers of glasses, the general public is now fully aware that the superior optical perfection of Deep Curve Torie Lenses are not the indirect invention, much less the private property of any one optician or optometrist. One of the best illustrations of the continuous advance towards optical perfection is in "Kryptoks," well termed That Master Lens. which contains two special corrections for defective vision. near and far leus in one glass, without being noticeable to the wearer in using them or to others.

as was formerly the case with the olil style cemented twopiece glasses: The ads of this optometric establishment have from the first day appeared in this paper, and in addition to being daily are known to every ohchanged servant reader as possessing a distinct personality of their very own. This unique characteristic call best be described in the words of a well known ad writer who, in illustrating an ment in effective advertising, said: arguthere were not type set anywhere in the Empire Optical Company's ads every observant reader would recall at once from which optometric office It originated." Mr. Arrington has coined some very clever phrases for use in the ads of this well known office. among which are "Empire Shur-ons combine all the merits. and overcome every demerit of any other kind of Empire Tories YOU see best in all directions." Kryptoks without that tell-tale line, "See Us and See Best." "Perfectly fitted glasses for Particular People." "Not Superior, but NONE Superior." refer you to Mr.

Merit in our Methods." "Where Arrington's Optical Standard Prevails." The Empire Optical Company, its management and its conscientious employees are to be congratulated for their 15 years of well deserved success. as are also the public of Western New York their possession of its scientific, optometrie, conscientious care offered alike to all present and prospective patrons of this progressive and popular optical office which has also the unique distinction of being the pioneer ground floor establishment in the rapidly growing business locality oll South Clinton between Main and Court PROGRAM BY ADVANCED PUPILS Pianist and Singer Heard at Studio of Their Teacher.
