Two Spectacle Pedlers. Look out for two pedlers or opticians as they call themselves. , Who claim to be stoping at the Burt House and also claim to represent Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfleld and Miss Sweetzer as they allude to advertisement in papers. They are frauds and wo wish to denounce tl)om, understand we employ no one to call at your house, as we transact all business in our apartments at the Burt House. Therefore any one calling at your house, claiming to be an optician etc., is simply a peddler that’s all. It is evident that any one who knows very much about eyes does n< t reed to peddler his knowledge from house to house. The people will be only too glad to go to the expert optician which is surely the case with Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfleld and Miss Sweetzer who are I surely doing a big business at the | i Burt House. During the last five I i months they have fitted 968 people i with glasses in Van Wert, O. Over- j coming 275 cases of headache. They have ten branch offices and employ more opticians than any five optical concern in the country, j They intend to visit Decatur twice a year. All lenses warranted two ! years. They give free examination of eyes at there apartments lin the Burt House. They do not ! call at people’s houses understand, , but that is what peddlers do. ts Railroad Notes.
