Name/TitleCigarette card: Dentists
About this objectBlack Cat Cigarettes Women on War Work Series No. 10: Dentists. A caption on the back states: "Even in war-time teeth will ache, and as the Dentists can't get the men to do the necessary mechanical work, they have had to employ women. A short course of training enables the latter to undertake a good deal of very useful work, and they will probably be required to continue even after the war.'
