NEW HEADQUARTERS
The S.S. White Dental Mfg. Co.
211 South Twelfth Street (Below Walnut)
1844
1868
In 1844 Dr. Samuel S. White, a Philadelpliiaii, started what ,
is today the largest dental-supply industry in the world. A
single attic room was sufficient for the humble beginning of
a business which has taken an active part in the municipal
development that identifies Philadelphia as "the workshop of
the world."
In 1868 this same business had grown to such proportions
that it required the S. S. White Building, the landmark that
stands at the corner of Chestnut street at Twelfth, to accom
modate its various departments.
As time went on two large independent factories were
erected and other manufacturing space was engaged to take
care of the demand for its products, leaving only the executive
departments and retail store at the Chestnut street address.
In 1918 the dhestnut street building was found to be in
adequate to meet the rapidly growing needs of its Adminis
trative Departments and Retail Store. This necessitated re
moving them to a new and 'more spacious building owned by
the Company on March 1 at 211 South 12th street, which was
especially built to suit its increased requirements.
The first floor of its new home is given up to the retail
busine.is, and is especially arranged and equipped for the con
tcniente of patrons.
S. S. White Tooth Paste the standard dentifrice and all
other S. S. White Mouth and Toilet Preparations are sold
Id the public at retail prices, as well as supplies for the Dental
Profession.

The scene reproduced above is typical
of presenl-day conditions in freight yards
throughout the entire country and
there's no relief in sight.
True, freight embargoes are easing
the terrific strain on railroad facilities
but this condition cannot be allowed to
dam the channels of business. Even Gov
ernment control cannot be expected to
produce additional rolling stock and
trackage over night.
Official Washington has placed its
seal of approval on the motor truck and
trailer as the real remedy. Cross-country
army motor truck trains tell the story of
their dependability and flexibility.
