Il am certain that we must do

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN

There has been considerable
discussion recently as to WHY
DENTISTS S H OULD AD-
NERTISE.
The other day | sat in a den
fists chair having some work
done which | need not have had
done had | been wise and gone to
a dentist sooner.
Well, between boriaq holes in
my teeth and then filling them,
the dentist and | talked about ad-
vertising.
He said to me-he had the ad-
vantage-he could do most of the
talking:
Our profession does not object
to ADVERTISING if it is done
by a REPUTABLE dentist and
ITS PROMISES ARE LIVED
UP TO.
The trouble is that most Of the
dentists who do advertise run their
business like a hardware store
Just hammers and nails and tools
without understanding their uses.
There are about $1,000 dentists
in the United States. not nearly
enough to do the work that should
be done for the health of the
people.
''As near as we can get at 1t, the
average gross business done by
each individual dentist is $1,000
year. from which, of course, must
be deducted the cost of rent, light,
heat. instruments. materials.
The dentist-the good one-can
do only a certain amount of work
per day. If a man could get
enough to do at SIo an hour to
keep him going eight hours day,
he would do pretty well.
Ours is a profession Ot 1NDl-
VIDUALITY and PERSONAL
ITY. and if any of US advertise as
individuals, each client expects the
personal attention of the advcr-
tiser.
Now. dentist doing busi
ness of $50 a day gross does not
need to adrentiSe, unless he wishes
to spread his fame and employ 4
number Of competent assistants.
1T might be good business for
the successful men in the PROBES -
