My Policy

My policy has always been to give
service equal to the best, and give it at
a minimum charge. Many patients
and small profits is my motto. 1t has
been successful and believe my easy
payment plan will strike a popular
chord. | want my patients to be able
to get their dental work when they
need it and not have to wait until they
can afford to pay cash. believe more
teeth are lost and appearances ruined
by people postponing their work on
account of not having the ready money
than from any other one cause. I don't
want you to feel that it is an imposi-
ton when you desire to take advan-
tage of this easy payment plan. It is
not favor-it is plain business. [
want you to remember that my 20
years experience is back of my work.
| can and do give work that is as good
as the best. Come up.
