(Copyrighted)
Absolutely the Only Paper Manufactured under
Secret Process by the American Bank Stock Co.
with reference to its beneficial effect on the eyes
and all rights protected.
TEST IT by holding to the light. If it does
not bear the water-mark [illegible]
it is a rank imitation and of
no value from an Oculistic,
standpoint.
For Blanks, Tags, Office Paper it is invaluable.
Made under Patented Processes and tested by Scientific Men.
It has virtues which make it indispensable to Office Men, Students and
Scholars.
Your eyes are of more value than the largest array of figures you can
compute on this sheet.
IMPORTANT.—Recent scientific investigation into the
prevailing disease and weakness of the eyes of most of our American students,
scholars, and office employees who write or read much has developed the fact
that a vast number of these ailments are engendered by the unscientific way
in which paper is woven in the milling, it being made without any reference
to oculistic necessities. To relieve the tension and strain induced by fastening
the eyes steadily on other papers this stock has been the outgrowth, and when
used in conjunction with other papers will tend to largely mitigate the evils
arising from fastening the eyes steadily on impractically made papers. AS IS
SALT TO THE HUMAN SYSTEM SO IS BANK STOCK TO THE EYES.
