possible. Our recent trip East to the great centers of dental edu
cation, was for the purpose of giving you the lat
est and best, up-to-date dentistry. Our seventeen years of suc
cessful practice In Oregon City Is the best guarantee any dentist can
give you. A guarantee Is good only as long as you ca'n find one who
gives it, and then not always. We are careful not to- hurt you, as
we have feelings ourselves. We want your work and 'want you to
send us your friends. Have an eastern expert graduate assistant
dentist. We put our own name back of our practice. Our prices are
