J. H. SCHLECHT, D.D.S.

Successor in Business to Dr. Flora and One of the Leading Dentists of Carthage.


Prominent among the professional men of Carthage is Dr. J. H. Schlecht. He is one of the city's leading dentists and a citizen whose loyalty to every enterprise meriting the encouragement of the public, has never been questioned. He is a Carthage citizen in every sense of the word, having been born and reared here. He received his primary and literary education in the Carthage schools. He was educated for his professional work in the Western Dental College at Kansas City, graduating from that institution as a D.D.S.
Dr. Schlecht was associated with Dr. Flora for a time. He has been closely identified with the office which he is now established for himself for about five years, during which time he has become well acquainted with the business public of this city. He is a comparatively young man yet, possessed of qualifications and capabilities of becoming one of the foremost men in his profession in the southwest. He purchased the office and business of Dr. Flora a few months ago when the latter left here, and he is now practicing alone. He has an elegant suite of office rooms in the Crane building, equipped with every convenience and comfort. Dr. Schlecht is a staunch advocate of Carthage. He believes she has a future of bright promise and is one to assist in making her the metropolis of the southwest.
