Single column article, excerpted from the 'Daily Herald', notifying readers of a range of coloured spectacle frames including champagne, lilac and sherry, an exotic frame inset with beads, a frame with lacy filigree top edging, bright red frames for teenagers and contrasting all these with the peach, pale blue, white and shell options in the NHS range - 'the neat, but not gaudy National Health specs'. Mounted on page 8 of a scrapbook.
