Dental Rewards! Many patrons of dental offices willingly pay larger rewards to get out of dental chairs than to get into them. If not directly in ready cash, certainly in influence and by recommendation. Thus, the men who can perform the best operation with the least consumption of his patient's time and the least infliction of discomfort, gains the reputation which makes for success. The Whiteside Crown contributes more in this direction than any other one thing. It is more quickly mounted than any other crown; there is less grinding and less discomfort inflicted, and the result is more durable and more satisfactory, both to patient and operator.

Gird Beecroft, Madison, Wisconsin BUSINESS TALKS TO DOCTORS. In the Saturday Evening Post for November 21, there is an interesting article on "Rich Women's Investments." I will clip a few sentences and paragraphs here and there from this article: * * * More than one wealthy woman has followed Mrs. Green's rules, which, summed up, are: "Put your money in bonds, loans or real estate mortgages. In this connection it is interesting to reproduce the investment instructions left by W. H. Vanderbilt in his will, which have guided the trustees in the employment of all the funds of the estate. The instructions are as follows: "I direct that they [the trustees] do, at all times, keep the said principal of the said several trust funds securely invested, during the continuance of said trusts respectively, in bonds of the United States of America, or of the city and State of New York, or the mortgage bonds of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, the New York and Harlem Railroad, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad or the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, or bonds guaranteed by it or some one or more of said specified companies. They may change such investments from time to time, and may also invest in bond and mortgage on unincumbered real estate in the State of New York." * * * But, unlike the Astor estate, the Clark estate is also a large investor in high-class mortgage and municipal bonds and in real estate mortgages. * * * Their fortunes are in Mr. Field's investments, which were among the cleanest and safest made by any of our very wealthy men. They include ground rents in what is known as the "Loop District" of Chicago (the heart of its business district), real estate and gilt edge stocks and bonds, to say nothing of an interest in Marshall Field & Co. The employment of the surplus income from this estate is in the hands of a committe of trustees who follow Mr. Field's rules for investment. * * * Chicago has other wealthy women, including, among others, Mrs. Potter Palmer, who has large holdings of choice real estate, and Mrs. Levi Leiter, whose fortune is in stocks and bonds. * * * In the list of what might be called the Western millionaires is a group of notably rich women whose investments are about as safe and profitable as shrewd judgment can make them. * * * * * The lesson for the average woman investor, as conveyed by the investments of very rich women, is very plain. Although they can well afford to lose, rich women take few chances. When they invest their money they seek the best advice that it is possible to obtain. Herein are summed up two of the cardinal rules for the safe employment of a woman's funds, large or small. The example of rich women, in this respect, is well worth following. No nonsensical "flyers" here. The very people who might afford to take a risk have too much good sense to do so. Yet the small investor will take all kinds of risks, and loses his savings. His foolishness makes him a perpetuel slave to those who have better sense. |
