| TEXT | Success in every department of business depends to a very great extent upon the intelligent proficiency and ability which are brought to bear upon it. This is more particularly true and applicable to the fine and intricate departments of trade, such as that in which Mr. Pilger is engaged. This enterprise was established in 1872 at No. 94 Fourth Avenue, and was eventually removed to its present eligible location in 1883. At his store, located as above indicated, he carries a large stock of optical, mathematical, and scientific instruments, and makes a specialty of spectacles and eye-glasses. Knowing to what an enormous extent the general public purchase spectacles from jewellers and illiterate shop-keepers, claiming to be opticians, and convinced that their eyes are in but rare cases properly treated in dealing with quacks, Mr. Pilger has made it one of his personal duties to examine the eyes of all patrons thoroughly, with a view to ascertain the precise grade of weakness and kind of lenses required. If the frames that are in stock do not suit, he is prepared to make them to order, according to any particular features of the face. By retaining an exact delineation of each frame thus made, and preserving a record of the lenses previously fitted, he is enabled to duplicate any order whenever desired. Mr. Pilger deals extensively in telescopes, microscopes, thermometers, hydrometers, electric instruments and batteries, and is always prepared to offer every advantage to his customers, at the lowest possible prices. |
