Professional
Standing
One may judge a professional
man by the standing he holds
among his colleagues. If they
accept him in their associa-
tions, for instance, it is logical
that he must meet all their re-
quirements for skill, experience
and facilities.
This organization has long
played an .active role in the
group activities of our profes-
sion. We belong to the major
professional societies and have
always enjoyed the respect and
esteem of our fellow morti-
cians. That is an assurance of
competent, trustworthy service
whenever our services are re-
quired by a m: ruber of ths
community.
