Laboratories Dept. 8029 3845 East Ravenswood Park, Chicago Never Too Late to Learn Skeptics, scoffers and un believers habitually stand in their own light. I can respect a man who differs with me in politics, religion or the affairs of everyday life because it it is his right to think for himself. I have but little patience, however, with people who form, opinions without investigation and tondemn a theory or man without a trial. The man who says, "I don't believe it," admits both his prejudice ana iacK ot Knowledge upon wnicn to oase a definite conclusion. The man who says, "Show me," and then really investi gates, soon learns and profits by what he learnss. I realize fully that when I opened my Omaha offices less than a year ago, there were varied opinions expressed about my sincerity. I did not ask the public to believe in me, but I did ask the people to investigate my office and my methods. I claimed I could give them BETTER Dentistry FOR LESS MONEY. I promised to save them all needless pain. ' 1 I surrounded myself with a staff of experienced, careful, competent Dentists each selected for his special skill in certain branches of Dentistry and I equipped my office and laboratory with every modern device and appliance that would enable me to do better mechanical work and insure better sanitary conditions than are found in some of the highest priced 'Dentists' offices. I inviteir comparison, both as to workmanship and prices and my spleudid practice today is the bept. evidence that the invitation was accepted by the public and the comparison was all in my favor. If you are one of the people who want to be "shown" and your eye sight is pood and your judgment keen I want to impress upon you that 1 am devoting the present week to demonstrating to "don't-believe-it" people how an up-to-the-minute modern Dental Office "is conducted. i7 I want you as my guest to visit the office, talk with my patients, inspect my laboratories notice the sanitary precautions taken here, and see the class of work my operators turn out then have your own teeth examined and an estimate made of work to be done and the cost thereof and finally k t your own good sense dictate whether you have your dental work done here or elsewhere.
