The Reason for
the Red Cross

We realize that there are a great
many people in this community that
have not had their dental work
done for the reason of the high
prices for dental services. There
are so many people that have
well-founded distrist for the den
lists and dental companies that
hold out taking inducements to get
the prospective patient into their
offices that it is no wonder that
they have become skeptical. Now
we are offering straight business
proposition to every one. We will
make the very best ok solid gold
crown for $3.50 and the very best
plate for $3.50. Now we do not ex-
patiate on the merits of any partic-
ular gold or any particular rubber,
for that is the rankest buncombe,
but we tell you that the materials
used are the very best that money
can buy. We do not make any
claim of superiority over other den
lists in point of professional excel
lence, based upon any such idiotic
proposition that we are practicing
under our own names. The reason
for trade name for a dental office
rests in the proposition that the
combination of the various names
of the members of the firm of any
| big concern is awkward and UNI
wieldly and as a name is the last
consideration especially in a dental
office. Now we rather liked the
name RED CROSS for the reason
that it conveys the idea of cleanli-
ness and carefulness along with
scientific attainments. For these
reasons we call our firm the RED
CROSS DENTISTS. The phenom-
email success of this office and the
truths we have told the people of
the grating and dishonest proceed
. ure of some of our competitors has
caused them to make untruthful as
tsertions that in the light of the
+. facts of the case are positively
/ ridiculous. They say that we can
not make PIX solid gold crown
J for $3.50, yet we go ahead making
them every day. They say that we
cannot make the best plate for
$3.50, yet we have turned out any
number of them. They say that the
dentist that is a college graduate
will not work for such prices, yet
all our men are graduate and
licensed dentists with years of eX-
perience and there are no Japs or
cheap Laboratory men employed in
this office. Remember, we are out
of the high rent district and that
| by walking 20 feet off Riverside you
can save dollars. At the present
time our entrance is badly torn up
and you will have some difficulty
in getting up to us, but you will
make good money by finding us.
The United Cigar company is going
in under us so you can't miss the
corner.
