Parker System in Dentistry THE twenty-four dental offices using the E. R. Parker System are open to visitors every week day between 8 :30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. They are well worth coming to see, for they show how, under this System, the practice of dentistry today has outgrown the one-man small office of yesterday. They show how this System has raised dentistry itself to the level where it rightly belongs, and how its many benefits can now be enjoyed by the masses rather than by the few. Dentistry by the Parker System on a large scale is beneficial to all both as regards service and price. Service is distinctly bettered and prices materially cut down. Under the . R. Parker System, examinations and consultations are free. Visitors are waited upon promptly. The price for all work is given in advance, so there may be no misunderstandings. The System saves much time for the patient, and work is done with fewer visits. The specialist idea is carried out. Whatever work your teeth require is done by dentists skilled in that particular branch of dentistry. The System has no place for incompetency. Residents of this city and vis itors from out of town are in vited to call and get a better idea of what the E. R. Parker System stands for in dentistry. The choice of a dentist is something that means a great deal to you. Ir. Jl. D. Cage Dr. A. B. Stiles lit. A. W. Deaa PORTLAND OFFICE Dr. F. .N. rfcristeaaesi Br. U.C. l icit Dr. A. R.
