Looking back to 1916: Free Dental Work for Military Recruits

From the July 6, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1916, 100 Years Ago.

"Drs A.C. and J.A. Spickerman, the local dentists made an announcement this morning that shows their patriotism. They offer to take care, without expense, of the dental work of any recruit who fears that the condition of his teeth will make his acceptance for military service doubtful."

As the United States was gearing up for what would become World War I.
