I have been following my profession for 25 years, and for 20 years I have been practising on my own account, mostly in Marlborough. During that time I have made with my own hands some 10,000 dentures, and performed all the attendant dental operations. By doing everything myself I never lose sight of the peculiarities ot each individual case. This fact, coupled with methods of my own acquired by a lifelong experience, fully explains the invariable excellence of my work. It has not passed through any hands (dubbed " Specialists "), but is done by myself from start to finish. I only stock the best teeth and materials, but if people want cheap dentures I can gel the inferior material and make an upper or lower set for one guinea, and such, as made by me, are superior to those made by advertising dentists at more than double, but—mark this—l never palm them off as the best. No one can dress in silk at the price of silesia, although it may look the same in a photograph. Some dentists’ "best” means the best they slock, made by hands of no experience ; my best means the best material procurable made by myself, The difference is incalculable. I do not approve of dentists advertising at all—sometimes one is forced to. Some dentists attend the annual Dental Conference and do a lot of high-faluting about raising the status of the Dental Proand they go back and put advertisements in the papers which can only be classified as " trading gammon.” The main object is to get people, by the aid of alluring advertisements, to call. "Oh yes ;we make “ Ibera at the price named, but do you think "iit worth while, for the sake of a pound or two, not to get the very best," etc., and after a spell of "trading gammon” the patient leaves agreeing to pay double or treble the price advertised This is where the high quality of the "expert" is most conspicuous, and a great many more people get a taste of his high class than are willing to admit it, and have to make a life-long effort to " keep on believing ” that what they have got is anything better than cheap-jack wares. These people live and die without ever knowing the comfort of a well-made denture. Similar people start with an idea oi getting 20s worth of wares ior 10s, and wind up with paying 203 for 5s worth of rubbish. ONE OR TWO REASONS WHY I CAN EASILY BEAT WELLINGIQh The rent they have to pay in Wellingti I could retire on ; and they must reco' themselves by very inferior goods. A what I do I do all myself, and I know, aft a life-long experience, that better cannot turned out anywhere at any price. I scorn to descend to any " trading gat raon.” When people (and they mostly do) a for THE BEST I quote for the Best every sense of the word. Ido not l,h ink "trading gammon” co pauble with an honourable profession. It completely beneath me, 19 BODEGA, Lambtou Qiuy, WELLINGTON. (Next door to Pemandos, Pish Merchant)".
