Sight is Worth Saving Evasxc.x—rr is priceless and worth all you can do for its preservation. Glaring or misplaced lights hurt the eyes. Your working light should be correct in quality as well as intensity—a treat rather than a threat to the eyes. Eyes behave better and last longer when they work with a light that suits them. Daylight is best because nature made it right for eyes. That is why every Emeralite has a special screen which changes ordinary electric light into soft, eye-sav- ing daylite. You cannot BUY eyesight. but you can INSURE it with Emeralite. Emeralites are those good looking, practical lamps that you see in the best offices everywhere. They harmonize with and enhance the dignity of any environment. You will find them in use wherever eyesight and the economy resulting from stand- ardized equipment are appreciated. They are also ideal for home use. Genuine Emeralites are branded and have the Daylite Screen. Look for trade mark. It is your guarantee of satisfaction. “Europe Holds the Key to Farmers’ Woes” For the Exeoutive By Julius Barnes 2 [/ 9. Por the Accountant S U. S.
