Spectacle buyers urged to choose Rowland’s Jewelry for value
An advertisement warns against unprincipled peddlers selling low quality spectacles at high prices. It promotes Rowlands Jewelry Store for accurate fittings with a money back style exchange if lenses are unsatisfactory. The message ridicules street peddlers like the Trishman’s flea and directs customers to the old Book Store near Clark's Shoes.
