THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1924 likely to have to answer a call when- ever It came, no matter what hour of the night, or what the weather conditions. The physicians had not then specialized to the extent they do today. “As I had had railroad experience, as fireman and brakeman on the ex- tra list, and had been subject to call day and night, night calls didn't ap- peal to me very much.” While Roy Woodruff was in college he made all the instruments which he later used during his ten years of practice, such as pluggers, scalers, excavators,. etc. He would buy the steel, shape up the instrument, and then plate them. He broke the college record for ex- tracting teeth. He took out thirty-- two teeth, under gas, In less than one minute. They were mostly roots that were barely set in the gums and the woman had a mouth like an alligator, opening it so wide that he could work quickly with ease. When he went to Bay City he had to rent an office, buy furniture on the instalment plan and keep himself until he had established a practice. To do this he had exactly $35 in his pocket. Back in 1902 and 1903 business condi- tions, it will be recalled, were very poor,’ so there was many a day when the young dentist didn’t know whether he was going to eat or not. He had the experfence of most young dentists. He was free in giving credit, and got a lot of people in his chair who had previously worked their face with other dentists as long as_they could and forgot to pay. So at the start Dr. Woodruff got abundant practical experience and a relatively small proportion of income. Gradually he weeded out this undesirable class, and his patients for the most part were prominent citizens, who have been his friends in, professional and political life for more than a decade. He practiced his profession devot- edly for ten years, and stll Keeps up with the latest advancements through reading the dentists' magazines. He was an active member of professional organizations and was one of the first | dentists in Michigan to engage in in- | lay work, both porcelain and gold While this is a_ticklish mechanical | job, Dr. Woodruff did it as he did all other tasks that e i the very best he couid. He frequently | conducted clinfes at dental meetings. | Represent odruff says today | that he a and | thoroughly ved his ten s of practice. He found the work con- fining, however, because he is an out- door man, and been accustomed to VIgorous exercise in the open. Men whoknow values quickiy ap- preciate quality. They realize that is the yreatest tobacco value ever offered. Ko P e € - See these lovely, low-priced woven rugs in the stores HAT is one to do?
