We have another week of fabulous articles this week on the Opticians’ Handbook for you.

Dick Whitney provides some insight to marketing claims and Preston Fassel’s article asks some very valid and thought provoking questions about fashion brand frames in our dispensaries. Both articles should make you think twice, at least.

Take a break during your Thanksgiving week and enjoy reading them.

We are Thankful for you - our readers. Have a yummy Thanksgiving Holiday.
