What Is All This Talk About a Dental ‘Combine’ Anyhow? We have been in the dental business in Seattle for a good muy years, have gone quietly ahead attending to our own affairs and we haven't found any one yet, Combine” or any one else, who has evinced any in tention of interfering in the least with the peaceful and legitimate conduct of our own business Of course we have been doing only one thing- and that is conducting this office to the best of our ability. We haven't been engaged in preaching isms— or pulling clown stunts—or standing on our head in the middle of the ring screeching to have the spot light turned on us—or burning red fire—or beating the bass drum—or other little things like that, in ludicrous at- tempts to attract attention to ourselves We have been building up our business by giving the public careful and conscientious service—with ex- pert dentists, men who have passed the thorough, search- ing examination necessary to get a certificate—by using the very best of materials of all kinds that it is possible to obtain—and by charging the very lowest prices. These are things that have made our business grow more rapidly by far than any other dental office in this section of the country WE DON’T HAVE TO PULL STUNTS TO AD- VERTISE OURSELVES, ‘OUR SATISFIED PA- TIENTS ARE OUR BEST BOOSTERS. And during all these years we haven't seen or heard of any “combine,” so that we have been forced to come to the conclusion that “there ain’t no such animal” ex- cept, perhaps, in the vivid imagination of certain indi- viduals who would like to make a bugaboo of it with a view to their own personal profit In this office every operator has his certificate hanging on the wall right in front of his dental chair This certificate is the best evidence that he has the knowledge and ability of a first-class dentist and that he can do your work RIGHT, as it ougnt to be done And when you pay your good money for dental work, you are entitled to have it done by competent hands— the safest way to be sure of this is to demand to see your operator's certificate. You positively can’t get un: factory dental work at this office. We won't permit it ourselves, and in addition to that you get a written guarantee with your work. Some guarantees that are not signed by any one might not mean much, but ours is a different kind alto- gether—ours is signed not only by the operator who does the work, but also by L. ‘R. Clark, D. D. S., the manager of this office, who is absolutely respo isible and will see to it that if your work is not satisfactory that it is made so. And further: We positively will not be underbid on price—and no one can go above us in quality. We believe you'll like our method of doing busi- ness. It’s frank, open and above board and is based on one thing only-—-we expect to gain and keep your business—by giving you more real solid service for your money than you can obtain elsewhere. And all we expect you to'do is to give us the chance to prove "Teeth Pulled Free To dentonstrate our painless methods we will ex- tract teeth without charge each morning from 8:30 to 10 o'clock. REGAL DENTAL OFFICES DR. L. R. CLARK, MANAGER 1405 Third Ave.—N. W. Corner Third and Union P, S.—If your teeth’ need attention it would be a good idea to come in at once and have your work started, as by neglecting your teeth you are taking chances with your health, which is mighty poor busi- ness. You'll be surprised at how little it will cost you to have your teeth put in first-class condition. PILE DEBT ON | POSTERITY IN EUROPE’S WAR Charles Edward Rt French Financial Is Best.
