BERNARD LISSEY One of Queens Borough's leading dentists is Dr. Bernard Lissey, with offices at 339 Pulton street, Jamaica, and his dental operating room, a picture of which is shown above, has been declared the best equipped and the most elaborate and costly on Long Island. As an artisan is judged by his tools and uls workmanship, so a dentist is judged by his appliances and his pleased or displeased patrons. The fact that Dr. Lissey has a large clientele and that his pa- tients invariably leave his office with pleased expressions on their faces, is sufficient proof of Dr. Lissey's worth. Dr. Lissey desires to please his patrons by not only giving them the best possible workmanship and dental surgery under absolute aseptic conditions, but by giving surrounding cleanliness and comfort. Upon arriving in New York, at the age of 17 years. Dr. Lissey immediately proceeded to educate himself. He secured employment as a junior clerk in a drugstore and within a short time re- ceived his license as a graduate pharmacist. In 1903 he decided upon entering the College of Dental and Oral Surgery of New York. He had a very successful college career, graduating in 1906, receiving a silver medal. Shortly after his graduation. Dr. Lissey was married and in 1907 he established himself modestly at Jamaica, L. 1. By close application to his work and constant effort to please. Dr. Lissey soon made for himself an enviable reputation. Despite the fact that he is a very busy dentist, Dr. Lissey still finds time to devote to civic, political, fraternal and charitable work. He is a member of the Jamaica Citizens Association, a member of the Board of Directors of the Iroquois Democratic Club, of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, of Jamaica Council of the Royal Arcanum, of Jamaica Conclave, Independent Order of Heptasophs; of the Council of Im- migration of New York, of the Woodmen of the World, of the Foresters of America, of the Knights of Pythias, and of Ionic Lodge No. 486, F. and A. M., and of various dental societies. Dr. Lissey is still a comparatively young man. He is ihirty-three years old. He lives with his wife and two children—Jeanette Frances and Dorothy Marion Lissey—in a handsome home at 63 Shelton avenue, Jamaica. Dr. Lissey is always pleased to receive members of his profession, medical doctors, as well as the public in general, and permit them to inspect his handsome dental offices at 339 Pulton street, Jamaica.

OAK PARK NURSERIES M iij^>-^i On East Main street, Patchogue, is situated the Oak Park Nurseries, E. C. and S. V. Tiger, proprietors, comprising many acres. As the picture indicates, their specialty is evergreens. Established in 1888 the nursery has been spreading out year by year, until it now covers a large acreage of superbly stocked nursery specialties. Their reputation is such that it has gained for them customers who continually renew their orders, as they realize they can place their orders in perfect confidence and receive just exactly what they buy. Special attention is given to the culture of trees that will succeed best in this climate, and those grown here are already acclimated. Write for their beautiful cata- logue and when in need of anything in this line write the Oak Park Nurseries, which will exert an effort to please you and make you a satisfied and permanent customer.

  • Native Americans in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet
    NATIVE AMERICANS IN BROOKLYN PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING The people encountered by the Europeans in the 1600s called themselves the Lenape, which loosely translates as either “the common people” or “the ancient people.” They called their homeland Lenapehoking and their communities reached from the Lower Hudson region to the Delaware Bay, including portions of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. To other tribes in the region, they were known as “grandfather” because of their ancient roots in the region. In the early 1600s, at the time of European contact, their population was around 20,000, divided into roughly twenty autonomous groups, closely interconnected through clan membership, Turkey, Wolf, or Turtle, which was traced through the mother. The Canarsee and Marechkawieck of the Lenape tribe lived in what is now Brooklyn. Clan lands and dwellings were “owned,” or held in trust for the clan, by the women as heads of households.
