Modem Bridge Work
For Twenty-Five Years
By EDWIN J. BROWN
Seattle's leading Dentist
108 Columbia Street
I have been studying crown «nfl
bridgework for a quarter of a cen
tury, and have worked faithfully to
master a system that Is safe, sani
tary and satisfactory. Other den*
Lists can do it if they will work and
learn. Skill and genius are acquired
by experience and arduous labor,!
My system of bridgework Is simple
and inexpensive, made with a view
to durability and utility.
A toothbrush will easily reach
and cleanse every surface of my
sanitary bridgework; it Is cleane*
than the average natural tooth.
No chnrge for consultation, and
my work is guaranteed.
I do not operate on people's pock*'
