PAINLESS PARKER SAYS "You can ge Dental Plates, Bridgework, Fillings, Crowns, Inlays, Extractions on credit payments to suit your con venience; weekly or monthly budget terms." J w ' V ' 1 - - Disfigured or missing teeth can keep you from looking your best; often give people a sour, unhappy look because they are ashamed to smile. Get needed dental work now; pay as you are paid. Made with the materials all dentists recommend for faithful reproductions, modern plates are lighter, more lifelike. Translucent teeth of the same color hue, same density of shading and size of your own teeth make plates look more natural. It is not necessay to make an appoint ment for a complete examination of your teeth. If this examination indicates that dental work is needed, it can be started at once, without delay. And you can arrange payment on a weekly or monthly basis. 125 Liborty Stroot, cor. Stato Tolophono: SAIam 0025
