Knowing that the eye is the most delicate and in many respects the most important organ of the body, it is necessary in procuring glasses for defective eye sight to consult only an experienced optometrist. A Nevada optometrist who stands high in his profession is Dr. C. H. Liddel, located at 120 South Washington Street and during his one year of public service, he has constantly maintained a reputation for reliability, unsurpassed. Dr. Liddel furnishes both glasses, frames and supplies: Consultation and examination furnished at all times. He specializes prescription work entirely; to be more plain, his examination of the eye and defects in sight and diagnosing of each case is conducted separately and the special kind of lenses required for these numerous defects are ground for this special case by an expert lens grinder at the lens factory. It is probably owing to these minute details of treatment which has caused the business to grow to such large proportions. Dr. Liddel was born in this city in 1872. He had been in Kansas City for three years prior to establishing this business. He is a graduate of the Southwestern Optical College of that city, receiving a diploma and high honors for practical work executed while in that school.
