STEREO Field Glasses are used by the armies and 

 navies of all the Great Nations because they are the 

 best Field Glass made. 



Everyone who travels, sails, hunts or lives where 

 there is an extended view should have a STEREO. 

 It is the sixth sense that brings the out-ot-reach into 

 easy view. STEREO has immense power, size of 

 field and Stereoscopic relief in the image.
