Harry B. McMillan, D. D. S.—The dental profession in Grand Rapids is well represented by Dr. McMillan, who has attained prestige in his chosen calling by reason of his marked ability. Dentistry may be said to be almost unique among other occupations, as it is at once a profession, a trade, and a business. Such being the case, it follows that, in order to attain the highest success in it, one must thoroughly conversant with the theory of art, must be an expert in the use of many tools and appliances incidental to the practice of modern dentistry, and must possess business qualifications adequate to dealing with the financial side of the profession. In none of these requirements is Dr. McMillan lacking; on the contrary, close study has given him a broad understanding of the science of dentistry.

H. B. McMillan is a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and was born the 6^th of February, 1874, a son of James and Jane (Smith) McMillan. His father was a mechanic by trade, born on the isle of Islay, Scotland, and his mother in New York City. They were married in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and now reside at 719 Jefferson avenue, Grand Rapids in which city the father is employed in the boiler works, having removed from Fort Wayne in

1883. Politically James McMillan is a republican, and is the father of two sons and one daughter, viz: Harry B. and Walter, the latter foreman of the G. R. & I. car-shops, is married and has one child; the sister is Mrs. Euphemia Haverkorn, residing on Jefferson avenue, Grand Rapids.

Harry B. McMillan was educated in the Grand Rapids schools, and began the study of dentistry in 1895, entering the university of Michigan and completing a three years’ course the 30^th of June, 1898. He established his present office in the Gilbert January 1, 1899, and has a finely appointed suite of rooms and neatly furnished. His business is already very satisfactory, and his extensive professional training fits him for the intelligent and successful practice of his profession.
