adopted at a meeting in Exchange
hall Friday to apply to all business
transactions at the South Side mar
ket. As far as commission men, regular

cerned, the rule is not necessary, as

That is three operations.
With the O-Cedar Polish Mop you do these three things at one
time. In addition, your floors are cleaner, brighter and prettier than
ever before. As you save work, you save time and money.

Drown your troubles in perspiration not in drink.
Aching muscles act as counter irrants to aching hearts.
If war times affect your business, let it affect your ambi
tion, too meet unusual conditions with unusual effort
there's still a profit in business, but you must EARN IT
NOW.
If you are short of help, take off your coat and go to
worknot only with your hands, but also with your head.
Of course it's an outrage to ask YOU to work, and
it's hard luck to have OUR profits dwindle but how
about the boys "over there" who sacrificed home, loved
ones, business, pleasures, even life itself, in order that the
rest 'of us might enjoy the privileges you do not appre
ciate ?
Although several of my valued operators and labora
tory experts have already joined the colors, and more are
ready to go ; although dental materials cost much more
than ever before, and general expense of conducting a
large dental office continually increases I have no word
of complaint I have not raised my prices a penny I still
guarantee that only solid gold is used here in crown and
bridge work, and that only high-class, experienced den
tists are permitted to operate in my office.
The promise which I made years ago of "better den
tistry for less money" is being kept, regardless of the war
and the fact that the other dentists are charging double
my prices for work no better and often inferior.
