Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that discusses their Outdoor Eyewear. The headline leads us to believe that buying these kinds of glasses is “How to make things look great outdoors” and the text indicates that these are not necessarily stylish but practical. There are five pictures that highlight different features of their product. The first shows a Color Transmission Chart that “shows how the three types of AO outdoor lenses absorb the sun’s ultraviolet rays”. The second picture shows the eyes of a woman wearing their “remarkable haze-cutting Cosmetan lenses, styled to add zest to outdoor living”. The third picture shows a lady lifting a beach ball and claims that the AO True-Color lenses she is wearing allows you to see “colors in their true relation to each other”. Picture four shows a man nattily dressed with a sea Captains hat and wearing glasses with “a sturdy gold-filled frame with the sportsman look and Calobar green lenses to absorb discomforting sun rays”. The last picture shows the famous AO Executive and Sovereign bifocal lenses. It also mentions that any of these three lenses could be ground to your individual prescription.
