ton.
But lUhere to go TO get a square deal
to get the most Uaiue for your money

The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1916-05-25

First - YOU WANT PAINLESS
DENTISTRY.
We are in a position to absolutely
guarantee this to you. We have the
latest and most scientific appliances
we have an ample supply of "NOVO-
CAIN which any competent dentist
will admit is the best, most efficient
anaesthetic yet discovered<for painless
dentistry Most dental offices have
none at all Of this precious substance
nor can they get iD. And, having these
appliances, we have the skilled dentists,
who know how to apply them. Good
tools in the hands of a poor workman
would be of no avail. But here we have
the good tools and the good workmen,
too, which makes a combination that
can't be beat. WE DO PAIN
LESS DENTISTRY EVERY DAY
AND WE CAN PROVE 1T. We can
prove it conclusively by the signed tes-
timonials Of great number of reliable
citizens, both men and women of
Seattle and vicinity, who state over
their own signatures that we have done
their work for them, and have done it
without hurting them a bit. And the
testimonials cover all branches and all
sorts of dental work, so no matter how
difficult your case may be, we can
guarantee to fix il absolutely without
pain to you. And we want you to be
absolutely satisfied on this point before
we even start to do your work.
Second-You want the kind of work
that will give you lasting and perma-
nent satisfaction. We use only the
very best of materials in this office,
which will turn out the kind of work
that W. can afford to 60 behind with
our iron-clad guarantee. Many people
have used our dental work for years
and testify to it's lasting qualities.
Third-You want the RIGHT
PRICE. You don't want to pay more
than you ought to pay. We guarantee
our prices to be the lowest. The rea-
son we are able to do this is because
of the extremely large volume of bust
ness that we do. We can naturally
afford to take smaller profit on the
individual case than the office which
does only one-third or one-half of the
volume that we do. II is our invariable

rule, from which we will permit no
deviation, that we will not be under
bid on price by any one, for good
work.
Fourth-You want to have It
PROVED to you that your work will
be done by competent men, who know
how to do your work the way il ought
to be done. Every operator in this
office is a graduate and registered dem
fist of the highest class. Each and
every one of them has graduated from
the best dental colleges and has his
certificate from the state dental board
hanging right on the wall in front of
his dental chair, in plain sight of all.
THIS is PROOF POSITIVE TO YOU
that he knows his business, and that
he has proved to competent judges that
he knows it. You are taking no
chances of having your work done by
a bungler or student when you come
here. All our men are men of years
of experience.
Fifth-You want your work guar
anteed so that If for any reason at ,apu
anything goes wrong with il, it will
be made right for you. We give such
a guarantee, and our guarantee means
just what it says, and is good. 1t is .
SIGNED guarantee, not a mere slip
Of paper. 1t is signed both by the
operator who did the work and by L. r.
Clark, D. D. S., owner and manager Of
this office, who is thoroughly respon-
sible. You are protected from every
angle when you come here for your
dental work.
And we want you to know that II
is our aim and desire to please and
satisfy YOU We are banking on you
to recommend your friends to us.
That's what makes our business, and
how can we expect you to do 50 unless
you are pleased with your own work?
Your teeth are matter of first inn
portance to you. Don't put off hav-
ing them fixed. You are taking
chances with your health-with your
efficiency, by so doing. Come in right
away-RICHT NOW is the proper
time. And be sure of one thing-it
will be worth a whole lot more to you
than it will cost.

HE GAVE HIS NOTE FOR S1OO

A pretty good story was told in the
New Rockford Transcript of last
week in which an experience is relat-
ed that connects our -toWnsman,
Mr.. A. E. Lindstrom, with the do.
ings among the farmers of Eddy
county back in the early pioneer days
The story is told by Henry Blair who
settled there back in 1888, but is
now wealthy and making lis home in
Illinois. In conversation with the
Transcript he told of an incident in
which he and Mr., Lindstrom were in
the leading role, both at that time
holding down nearby claims in north
western Eddy county. 1t would ap-
pear that Mr.. Blair had filed on a
quarter section of land just north of
the Sheyenne river, and which adjoin.
ed some land owned by Lindstrom,
and by the way, which would much
improve the. farm of Anton. Blair
as he was hard pressed for money
offered to relinquish the whole one
hundred and sixty acres for a hun
dred dollars. It turned out though
that Lindstrom wasn't any better fix
ed financially than Blair, but finally
deal was fixed up whereby "Lindy'
gave his note for a hundred dollars
and Blair turned over to him the re.
Ennuishment This land now has a
value of about fifty dollars an acre.
The note of course was paid long ago.
and that section of the state has made
wonderful strides of progress. This
was before Mr.. Lindstrom came to
Langdon to enter into the newspaper
business, and long before that he
had ever dreamed of being a retired
land owner of sunny California.

SLEIGHING IN OCTOBER

The snowfall of Tuesday and yes
,terday, October 18th and 18th, cover
ing the ground to a depth of almost
foot, has brought feelings of doubt
to many as to whether or not this
may not be the setting in of an early
winter. The supporters of the theory
that it is show that in October of four
years ago, October %, 1912, snow
covered the ground, and stayed until
the break up of the season in the
spring. AS this, however, was about
ten days later than the initial ap-
pearance OF the beautiful this fall,
there is' still room to hope for some
Indian summer weather.
