Ritter Painless Dental Co., circa 1908

Right on the elevated train line.

E. Ritter Painless Dental Company was located at the intersection of Third Avenue, Schermerhorn Street and Flatbush Avenue. While this business is listed in a 1908 Brooklyn business directory, it does not appear in the directory the following year. The sign features a cartoon of a boy exclaiming, “It didn’t hurt a bit!” A different view of the building can be seen at NYC Vintage Images.
