how good your teeth may be, you
ought to have them looked over by
a competent dentist at least once
every six months. Ii will save you
"A lot OF suffering. as well as cN-
pense, TO have this done
And when you find IL necessary to
have dental work done. you natural
" want the very best that you can
get for your money. and you want
the work done without a lot of I'M
necessary pain and suffering.
This is the proper place TO come
TO TO get just that kind of service
We offer you the services OF grad
uate. registered dentists here. every
one of whom has his certificate from
the state dental hoard hanging right
on the wall in front OF his dental
chair. In plain sight OF all This IL

his business and knows how to do
your work the way II ought to be

You take no chances of having
