Attention dentists!

- Our special lighted dental mirrors illuminate all tooth surfaces better than any other light on the market. These mirrors are on sale this week at just $150 per set of three. That's 25 percent off the usual price.

- Our automated patient chairs automatically adjust their positions so that you can always work comfortably, without back or shoulder strain. Available in several models and colors.

- Our Dental Office Systems computer software streamlines record keeping so that you will never fall behind with your paperwork. Full version available at $500. Upgrade is $175.

Peter,    

 Take a look at the attached ad. I think we should order a few things. I like the lighted mirrors and probably could use five or six sets, but maybe it's better to spend no more than $300 on them for now, so I can see how well they work first. We probably need the upgrade for the record keeping software, too. It will help you stay caught up with the patient records. I think we could do without those CDs, though, don't you? We do better with the radio. You might as well go ahead and order paper, envelopes, and anything else you need for the front office at the same time.

 Thanks,

Barbara
