[ Ohio and Pennsylvania, ca. 1900 – 1923] Includes six booklets by dentist Charles R. Hambly: Dental Bridge Work Today (1901), Dollars and Sense in Bridge Work (1901), Tooth Facts (1902), Tooth Truth Plainly Told (1902), The American Dental Instructor (n.d., ca. 1900), and Dr. Earl E. Bird, Dentist (n.d., ca. 1900). The seventh booklet is the Bulletin of the Department of Industrial Relations and Industrial Commission of Ohio (1929), which includes a list of standard dental procedure charges and regulations on x-ray usage. Booklets in publisher's printed paper wrappers. Some discoloration to booklets. One manuscript account book bound in stiff cloth wrappers and the other in stiff paper wrappers. Seven booklets (various sizes, 3 x 6 in. to 5 x 6 in.), two manuscript account books (3 x 5 in., about 150 ff., and (2 x 5 in., about 50 ff.), and a business card. Also, with five contemporary publisher's order forms for these dental booklets and seven prepaid Ohio stamps. Manuadript bookslets worn, with fraying to cloth and old tape repairs to the binding of the paper wrappers. A good set of manuscript material and rare ephemera documenting the practice of an Ohio dentist. The business card is for Union Painless Dentists in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. These items presumably belonged to a dentist employed at Union Painless Dentists (possibly one of the proprietors), as one of the manuscript account notebooks contains a multi-year list (1903 – 1907) of patients and how much they paid for each of their procedures (some of which are enumerated in the account). The notebook also contains several pages of notes on dental procedures and lists of prices of dental supplies. The other notebook is a personal account book (1917 – 1923) that also lists expenses relating to the operation of a dental clinic ("dental gas," "Dental Society dinner," "dental meeting," or often just "dental").
