    Hilco/Sadler

    Dang! I forgot to order my fave Sadler screw-on silicone pads before the sale was final. The Hilco pads have too long an attachment & flop around while the Sadler ones fit perfectly. Maybe Hilco has changed theirs--I haven't bought from them in years. They're going to send me a sample, but just in case--where do you get your nosepads, if not from Hilco?

    Jobe? Are you the Jobe I knew in Boston?

    If so, hello! I was regional manager for Lugene Opticians & knew you back in the 80's. What are you doing these days?

    They are high quality. They don't rip as easy as the Hilco. Some use the Hilco pad that can screw or snap. For the low low price with Modern, you can afford to stock them all and have better fits

    Sorry Virginia, but must be a different Jobe. Can't be that many of us out there though.

    I have worked in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Colorada, and now Minnesota, but never out east.
