The old style of cement bifoçals with their disfiguring and annoying dividing line has been supplanted by a new lens with two fool, the upper portion of the glass for distance and the lower for reading, ground from one single- piece of glass.

You who wear two pairs of glasses may now use one pair instead. No one can tell that you wear bifocals. Nocement to blister; no thin segments to lose off.

Call and inspect this fine. We grind Kryptoks in regular' or toric form.
