Incidentally, our time Ih money. It's fifty-fifty. If we can savo you time, we can save ourselves time and we're out to economize the little golden minutes, because they are mutually profitable. Did you ever chock up on tho amount of time you have wasted in a dental cllalr? Isn't that one of tho big reasons why you duck going to a tooth pluggor, because you just enn't spare the hours and hours that you have learned from past exper ience you will spend receiving cotton and conver sation? A busy man or woman, with lots of cares, thinks a good many times before he or sho yields to grim necessity and steps up to tho fang-fixer's. Too often, the visit comes too late and there is a much longer stay with Mr. Dentist than there would have been any need for, had there been an earlier call with the "S. 0. S." The average person, occupied with tho dally routine of making a living, must hall with genuine joy any tooth-export who not only knows how to do but guarantees a speedy job of dentistry. New patrons of Painless Parker offices usually re mark with astonishment at the rapidity with which dental operations are performed by the specialists In these offices. No lengthy waiting room delays; no fiddling around with prolonged examinations; no dilly-dally ovor preparations for the work; no cheap artifices to extend the job into a real "operation" or an expensive "cad." Dost of all, no charge made to hear the monolougo of a professional chatterbox. You got the work done just an oxpeditlously as is consistent with good dentist) y. The reason why this Is done In all the Painless Parker offices Is that we don't have to "string" our patrons along; we have too many patients to wasto either our own or their time; we have practitioners who are skilled in their own 3pocIal lines .and know how to work swiftly and suroly and wo don't care to substitute dllatorhiess for dentistry.
