DENTAL rAKERs
Several years ago. when I was
fighting this state Dental Combine
and Dr. Bark was sobbing and chok-
ing about getting his Dental
license" a man by the name OF
Froam. operating under tho name
OF the wyeth Dentists. began to
make sIurrinR remarks In his news
paper advertisements about my as
socists Dentists and myself. told
the people OF Seattle who this man
Froam really was. how he failed in
san Francisco. in Portland. In two
offices In Seattle. one OF which Of
fees was the old fake Dental Coll
iege that DIR. Bark afterwards
bought. and just sixty days after
had exposed Froam the Or. wyeth
Dentists closed UP. Notwithstanding
Froam claimed my exposure OF bis
methods was helping his business
sDr. Bark was at one time employed
by Frosm-) Froam never operated
under his own name. but always
signed as manager. fearing 20 make
the ownership OF his offices known.
Fake Desststs usually make such
silly assertions as 1T II impossible
