I am a graduate dentist with more
every piece of my equipment is of
than 15 years of experience, and
the best make. THERE ARE
ABSOLUTELY NO SHODDY MATERIALS USED IN MY WORK.
To My Friends and Patrons;-
After January 1. 1938 a dentist is prohibited from advertising low
prices or to tell the public he can save you money. The last Legis-
lature. ur.d r pressure from the majority of non-advertising den-
tists. passed this law. It has been my policy and ideal in the past
to make a conscientious effort to do satisfactory dentistry at the
lowest possible cost to my patrons.
SATISFACTORY DENTAL WORK AT PRICES YOU
CAN AFFORD TO PAY
I have in the past advertised mv low prioes in our newspapers, by
cards, etc—after January 1. 1938, that would be a direct violation
of the law.
I Wish to remind you that the law DOES NOT CON-
TROL THE PRICE I charge you, after January 1, how-
ever, when you come iio my office.
I express my appreciation of your patronage and shall strive to con-
tinue to merit your approval and good will in the coming year
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
