Those who missed their opportunity last time are advised to call early to avoid disappointment . THE GREAT CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIGH PRICES . His one object is to prove once and for all by reason of the enormous business he conducts , that the high fees of the Specialist beyond the reach of the great mass of humanity can be done away with . As has been stated in former announcements , Mr. Buck has behind establishments in the world , and pletely equipped optical cetofthe largest and most com this fact , in addition to his long experience in sight- testing , enables him to make his remarkable offer to - day It is not to be wondered at that in these days when high prices are so prevalent , the astoundid have value offered in the glasses supplied by Mr. Back They are beautifully made , each from specially - prepared , colourless created lens being crown crystal , finished on the latest scientific principles , and guaranteed absolutely correct by the reco standard , of measurement . There is not the doubt that they represent a record value in Notwithstanding increased coste , in producties . the reasonable even in pre - war daylied at the extraordinary the soldier's right to claim back pay , says : In many cases lenses are supplied at the The statement of the Solicitor - General , A of 4. , though , of course , where cylindrical or other special lenses are required the cost in higher , but i cases the prices charged are surprisingly low ; in fact , classes of such superb quality have been reduced to so low a level . soldier had no right to his pay is one of the large class of fictions - at least we sincerely is doubtful whether ever previously the prices of eye- hope so . However , the expression of such an opinion by so eminent a legalist and Law Offices of the Crown in a public court must effect incalculable mischief . It will tend to fortify encipient disloyalty in its many forms , it will inevitably give distinctness to the wide- spread murmurs against the financial methods which have obtained in the Services , and , therefore , it must increase dissatisfaction and discontent generally . " THE EYESIGHT OF LEOMINSTER . It is difficult mania will conferestimate the boon this remarkable upon the town . It is a recog- nised fact that over 50 per cent . of the population of our large industrial centres suffer from defective vision in one way or another - and , the percentage in Leominster is than in many large towns . , This factory , work - shop and office - the straining of the eyes over the deak or work - table , frequently in bad light result sooner or later in an urgent need for glasses . DO NOT DELAY . Mr. Buck can only stay in Leominster for five days . Make point of visiting him early . To miss the op portunity now may mean a lifelong regret , and , perhaps , serious eye trouble . Even the eyes seem all right , go , and consult him . Hundreds of people make a point of doing this , as they know there is no fear of being advised to wear glasses when these are unnecessary , that , if all is well , they come away aatished that their eyesight is sound in every respect , And it costs them nothing . HOURS OF ATTENDANCE : 10 to 1 : 2.30 to 7 . Don't put down this paper until you have fixed in your mind a time to go and see Mr. Buck . Let him tell you exactly how things are with your eyes . It may cost you nothing ; in any case the cost will be much less than is ordinarily charged . MR . BUCK MAY BE CONSULTED AT THE WAVERLEY TEMPERANCE HOTEL , LEOMINSTER .
