Every operator employed by us has
his certificate from the state dental
board hanging right on the wall in
front of his dental chair, in plain
sight of all. thus proving to you be-
yond the shadow of doubt that he

knows how to do your work just the
way it ought TO be done to get the
proper results.
Only the very best of materials
are used at this office.
We guarantee all our work with
an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction.

of our experts give your teeth thor
ough examination. He will tell you
just what is needed to put your teeth

Suffice IT to say that many cases
of rheumatism" eye. ear and throat
trouble and even serious diseases of the
spine are now known to come directly
from decayed teeth. And, needless to
say. the number Of stomach disorders
that can arise from the same cause
is legion.
Why have bad tecth'
Not because of the expense involved,
surely.
Because at this office you will OBJ
tain the very highest grade of work
at the lowest prices consistent with
the best work. We have built up such
large volume of business that we are
able to take considerably smaller
margin of profit on the individual pa
tent than the ordinary office can pos
sibly afford to take.
Nor can it be because of fear of
being hurt that you delay.
If so, read this: We have brought
our system of painless dentistry to such
a point of perfection that we are now
able to guarantee to perform prac-
tically any and all kinds of dental
work without hurting the patient a
bit. No matter what may be the ma
ture of the work required in your
case, it is practically certain that we
can do it and not hurt you enough
to trouble you at all.
Remember this:
Every operator in this office is a
