Growing Market for New Dental Chair Cushion Made in Medford There is a growing west coast market for the new re clining dental chair cushion manufactured locally by the Professional Cushion Supply company, a division of the Modern Furniture company, 1222 South Riverside ave., owned and operated by Ken neth C. Kerr. Although the company is keeping up with the demand for the new cushion now, or ders are coming in so fast that it might not be long be fore he falls behind orders, Kerr told the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce round table luncheon at the Jack son hotel Monday. Kerr was invited to speak as part of the roundtable's program to hear those local entrepreneurs who have start ed something new in business and are contributing to the prosperity of the area by means of their businesses. Not His Own Invention The cushion that Kerr is manufacturing is not entirely his own invention but the modifications that have made it so successful are his, and have been patented, he told the roundtable. Since he took out his patent about six months ago, he has sold approximately 300 units and the demand is increasing as- more and more dentists begin to recognize the worth of the new seating arrange ment. Kerr does not make chairs, but uses the dentist's old chairs. In approximately 30 minutes he can install a new HILTS Birthday Party Held By MRS. M. F. CAVIN Hilts A party Jan. 7 at the home of Mrs. Art Hart man honored the birthday of Mrs. M. G. King. Refreshments were served and cards played the reman der of the afternoon. Attending were Mrs. Art Blanchard, Mrs. Osie Bern heisel, Mrs. H. G. Thompson and the hostess, Mrs. Art Hartman. Mrs. Josephine Hartley left Tuesday morning for her home in Colorado after spending several weeks at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Freemeyer and family and Mr. and Mrs. Cal Sharp. Mrs. Freemeyer and Mrs. Sharp are Mrs. Hartley's daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Pat Patton of Etna were recent guests of Mrs. Patton's parents, Mr. and Mrs.- Glenn Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Span naus visited Sunday in Yreka with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Spannaus, Ernest's uncle and aunt. Mrs. Hermon Spannaus is a patient at the Siskiyou County hospital. The Hilts volunteer fire de partment presented a gift to Mrs. Glenn Johnson in ap preciation for preparing the refreshments served at the Fireman's ball recently. Mrs. Lester Chase and Mrs. Har ney Fry made the presenta tion on behalf of the fire de partment. Recent guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Wil liams were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wilson, Yreka. Mrs. Wilson is the former Violet Bagley and was recently married in Reno. .. Other guests Sunday at the Dick Williams home were Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rushton and sons Dickie and Ronnie, Medford. Mrs.'Don Ward and Mrs. M. F. Cavin drove to Horn brook Wednesday and visited Mrs. Everett Elmore and Mrs. Fred Bloomingcamp. Visiting Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Florent Van De Weghe in Hornbrook were Mr. and Mrs. Victor Vande Weghe and family and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fogiatto. Dinner guests Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. "Pat" Killingsworth and children were Mr. and Mrs. BARGAIN GRADE 2x4x8' 5Jl00 Per W Chenev Sfud Mill AT Central Point reclining cushion with a head rest and an optional vibrator for S200. The work is done in the dentist's office. Advantage Over Others This is one advantage he has over other manufactur ers who offer a new chair, which costs from $1,200 to $1,600. Kerr remodels the old chair giving essentially the same benefits. Kerr said the reclining cushion is beneficial to den tists, not only because it looks modern, but because patients are immediately relaxed when they sit in it. They have to be Relaxed, he added, for there are no foot rests or handles in the new chair, with which they can brace them selves into a tense position. Instead, they have contouring seats which gives comfort to the patient from head to toe. The optional vibrator is lo cated under the seat of the chair and further relaxes the patient. Although he did not expect them to, dentist's have found they can work on the patient while the vibrator is operating which further helps to keep the patient relaxed, Kerr said. In order to meet the de mand for the cushion, Kerr temporarily discontinued up holstering furniture about a month ago, and will not start again until he can train a new crew to work on the dental chair cushions and keep up with the demand. The market for the cushion has spiraled only recently Kerr said, because it took Dudley Killingsworth, Horn brook, Pat's parents, and Mrs. Naomi Owens, Yreka, Mrs. Killingsworth's mother. The dinner was in honor of Mrs. Owens' birthday. Mrs. Tony Marin and Mrs. Donivan Ward, Hilts, and Mrs. Florent Van De Weghe, Hornbrook, have enrolled in an upholstering class held in the recreational hall of the old elementary schoolhouse in Yreka. This is a 12-week course and is under the spon sorship of the College of the Siskiyous. Instructor is Mrs. Estelle Green, home economic teach er in the Yreka High school Miss Shelly Bernheisel left Sunday for her home in Weed after spending several days at the home of her grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Osie Bernheisel. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Burns and daughter Kathy have re turned to their home at the S.S. Bar ranch after spend ing over two months with relatives in Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Elizabeth M a g u i r e spent Tuesday in Yreka where a belated Christmas was observed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Klea ver. James Kleaver, their son, is attending West Point and was home on furlough, so Christmas was delayed by the family to await his ar rival. Mrs. Maguire is his grandmother. Mrs. Tom Shuck was hos pitalized for several days in the Yreka hospital when she fell on the ice Jan 3, and suf fered an injury to her back. Visiting Thursday at the M. F. Cavin home were Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Wyatt and children Paul and Teresa, Medford. Wyatt, who is em ployed by Copco, made a bus iness trip to the Copco dam on the Klamath' river while his family stayed at the Cavin home. Also at the Cavin home was Mrs. Fred Bloomingcamp, Hornbrook. U. S.- families spend an av erage of $2.56 a week in the nation's 54,000 drug stores. To help sell their products through these and other out lets, manufarturers of toilet requisites spent nearly $35 million in newspaper adver tising in 1958. awhile for dentists to get used to the idea of a new cushion and make sure that it is an effective product, not just a gadget. At two recent dental con ventions, in Portland and Seattle, Kerr found interest in the cushion at a high, indi cating it has received wide spread acceptance. - He is presently marketing the chair in Oregon, Wash ington, California, Utah, and Oklahoma, and has an offer from an ex-dentist in Ohio to sell it there. Large Problem One of his biggest prob lems, Kerr told the round table, was to find the best way of marketing the cushions. He declined offers from supply houses who wanted a fran chise to sell the cushion for him, because he had no idea at that time of how large the market was going to be, and did not want to bind him self to a contract. He has tried both mail order sales and the direct sales approach and is still experimenting with both methods. Although the personal ap proach can sometimes be more effective, he has often found that dentists are too busy to receive a salesman during of fice hours and when they do receive him, they often do not give him as much time to sell the product as he should have. By mailing circulars to first explain the product, he has found that dentists will often devote more time to studying it and then are in a better frame of mind to discuss it at a later date. One break that Kerr had recently is in a new south ern California dental clinic which has installed his cush ions throughout. This is one of the best clinics in the world, he said. Request From Dentist He first got started with the chair when an Ashland dentist requested he make one of the new kind of units for him. Kerr did this, add ing a few of his own modifi cations, and it was well ac cepted with several other lo cal dentists requesting them also. He then experimented with various modifications of the original version and came up with some that were good and for which there seemed to be a market, so he patented them. Roy Smith had been sched uled to speak at yesterday's luncheon to discuss the func tions of the Oregon bureau of labor, but according to Ken Baker, roundtable chairman, he was in an auto accident and unable to attend, so the roundtable invited Kerr, who had been unable to speak when invited two weeks ago. pTjpVfSSjfSS STARTING IWttfTJnfj FRIDAY BRING THE ENTIRE FAMILY Oil Everyone from SIX to 96 is vS.-H- Come Early!
