Don’t Neglect Your Teeth a Day
Every person—young and old—should ac-
quire the habit of brushing the teeth daily. v
Parents can do their children a lifetime
favor by encouraging the proper use of the
tooth brush until it becomes a regular habit.
The best and easiest way to acquire this
habit->-for both parent and child—is to use a
tasty dentifrice.
We can furnish you with any of the best
dental creams, powders or liquids. Also tooth
brushes in all styles and prices.
