DENTAL MONKEYS

A monkey is the greatest animal
imitator of the human race except
the Dental Monkeys. II is most
striking and wonderful fact that
some Seattle Dental Sharks are sur
passing the monkey family In the
practice OF initiating.
When you read some Dentists
advertisements, you VIII recognize
my styles Of cuts Initiated. and the
slogan, which I originated, The
Dental War Is on" initiated. my
styles of ad writing initiated, and
my expression sometimes initiated
by these Dental monkeys.
When you walk down Cherry st.
