He Serves Himself Most Who Serves the Public Best A stream never rises higher than its source, nor does a business grow greater than its builder. Some people have marveled that I have built so large a practice in a few short years, and Dental Supply Houses have commented on the fact that I buy more and better Dental Supplies than any half dozen competitors, some of whom have been practicing here for years. I am fair enough to admit that I do not deserve special credit for the feat because the KIND of competition I have had made my task easy; in fact, I feel that many up-to-date, competent Dentists, possessed of the requisite skill and training, who. would display the courage born of knowledge and ability, could "have done the same thing and perhaps in less time. If I seem so far AHEAD of the procession, it is because others are SO FAR BEHIND. I saw the shortcomings of the system employed here by the old-time dentists, I knew the public put up with it simply because there was little choice between the methods of the old schools, and I knew that the two greatest evils of that system were exorbitant prices and unnecessary pain. I knew that a firsteclass gold crown (equal in material, fit and wear to gold crowns for which other Dentists charged $8- to $15) could be made at a profit for $5.00 UNDER PROPER CONDI TIONS, and I knew that fully half (and probably more) of the pain inflicted in the Dental Chair was unnecessary and the result of ig norance, carelessness or plain brutality.
