Alfred Emil Springboard, the optician and jeweler, is a native of Denmark, and was born at Aalborg in 1869.\u00a0 He attended the private schools of that city until he was fourteen years of age.\u00a0 He then went to Hobroe to learn the jeweler\u2019s trade, and, such are the customs of the country, he was compelled to pay $400 for his five years\u2019 experience, and subsequently, in Aalborg, expended $50 to learn engraving.\u00a0 These sums were in addition to services gratuitously give while learning the trades.\u00a0 After a trip to Germany and England, he came to this country, stopped for a short time with a cousin in Southern Illinois and then went to Chicago and worked at his trade for one year.\u00a0 In August, 1891, he arrived in Oakland, Cal., and engaged with Lathrop & Co., watch inspectors for the S.P.R.R.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Soon after entering upon this engagement, he began the study of optics and devoted a large share of the five years\u2019 term with this firm in thoroughly mastering that profession, which was concluded by a course in the Chicago Opthalmic College, from which institute he graduated in October, 1896.\u00a0 In November of that year he came to Redlands and immediately located at the Abbey Pharmacy. Thus has the wish of Mr. Springborg\u2019s childhood been fulfilled, a wish to come and live permanently in California, and Redlands is his choice of all localities.\u00a0 Mr. Springborg is a member of the Uniform Rank, K.of P.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this busy age the eyes need great care.\u00a0 Slight defects in vision should receive immediate attention.\u00a0 These defects exist in childhood, are common at middle age and frequent in advanced years.\u00a0 The optician should be consulted and can correct, often cure, such troubles, unless organic disease has set in.\u00a0 To-day very fine and perfect instruments are used in detecting these troubles and glasses suited to each case are fitted with greatest care.\u00a0 Mr. Springborg is thoroughly competent for such work; warrants his glasses.\u00a0 A picture of one of the instruments used is seen herewith.<\/p>\n
