| TEXT | Philadelphia is recognized the world over as the home of dentistry. Not only are the largest schools of this young but rapidly growing profession located here, sending their graduates annually to every portion of the world, but here also are located all the leading manufacturers of porcelain teeth and dental supplies. Among the largest concerns in this branch of industry is that of the Wilmington Dental Manufacturing Company, whose principal offices are located at Nos. 141 1 and 1413 Filbert street. This Company has had a wonderful and phenomenal growth. Their business of manufacturing porcelain teeth, their most extensive product, was started in this city by Dr. Shelp in the early sixties, he was succeeded by Dr. J. R. Tantum, who transferred the factory to Wilmington, Delaware. In 1882 the business was incorporated under the name of the Wilmington Dental Manufacturing Company, and from that date commenced the rapid growth of the house which today is rapidly approaching the $1.000.000 mark. The officers of the Company are: J. F. Frantz, M. D., president; S. J. Willey, vice-president; J. R. Moore, secretary; and H. C. Robinson, treasurer. This Company also has an extensive factory in New York City, where they manufacture tools and dental instruments of every
description. Owing to the immense growth of their business and in order to facilitate business, they have branch houses for distributing their products at No. 1300 Broadway, New York, and No. 7S State street, Chicago. All of the officers and members of this Company are practical men and understand the business in every detail, they having virtually grown up in this line so to speak. This practical knowledge of their business, square dealing and manufacturing the highest grade of goods possible, make their phenomenal success nothing to wonder at. This Company are also publishers of the largest journal in the world devoted to dental science, art and literature, known as Items of Interest. This journal is recognized in Philadelphia as the leading exponent in everything pertaining to dentistry, and circulates wherever English speaking dentists are found. |
