"Dr. R. M. Chase, dentist, of this town (Bethel, Vermont) has invented and just received a patent for an improved plate for artificial teeth which does away with the usual thick plate covering the roof of the mouth, instead of which is a thin plate of metal so fastened to the side of rubber which holds the teeth that by this combination the adaptability, or close fit of a rubber or celluloid plate is obtained and at the same time the conductibility of a metal plate. These plates can be made for about one half the price usually charged for a whole metallic plate, and parties who are wearing them seem to be highly delighted with improvement" from the HERALD AND NEWS Devoted to the Interests of the White River Valley, West Randolph (now known as Randolph) VT., Thursday October 6, 1887 My thanks to the courtesy of the staff "Our Herald" for allowing me to pour over some of the precious old volumes of the very earliest publication of the Windsor-Orange County area.
