    Dental Operative Instruments The universal acknowledgment of the superiority of The S. S. White operative instruments has been won by unremitting devotion to the idea that we must achieve the highest possible excellence in material, workmanship, adaptability, and finish. It is now nearly half a century since this house determined that it could and would manufacture instruments of a higher quality and better finish, of more careful adaptation and in greater variety than had ever been offered to dentists. To that end we have studied unceasingly the needs of dental practice, the possibilities and limitations of industrial methods; have sought patiently and perseveringly the suggestions and criticisms of the dental profession; have adopted from eveiy available source improved methods of manip- ulation; have experimented and modified, devised and improved, the question of expense never being allowed to interfere with the attainment of the result sought for. We have reason to feel proud of what we have accomplished: Our Instruments ■—Pluggers, Excavators, Scalers, Burs, Forceps, etc.—have long been universally acknowledged to be the best of their kind in the world; and we have the satisfaction of knowing that our triumph was not thrust upon us, but earned. When we started on this quest for the best there was not only room but urgent need for improvement. It was only a little while till our instruments met the need—^were the best then possible to produce. They are better now. We have kept pace in our manufacturing with the progress of the industrial arts. Necessarily our standards have changed, have gone higher, and our instruments today, under the more exacting standards, represent as they did forty-five years ago the best present achievements of human skill. There are today, as there always have been, imitations. Success always begets imitation and substitution, but Me have yet to learn of the imitation which was equal to the original. Certainly no imitation of our dental instruments approaches them in the essentials,—materials, adaptation, workmanship, and finish. Our instruments are available to the dentist wherever he may be located. There is no necessity for him to accept a substitute if ours are wanted. Should a dealer anywhere decline or neglect to supply our instruments when ordered, we will take pleasure in. giving prompt attention to a direct order accompanied by remittance. The S. S.
