Dr. F.J. Pribil, Jr. Dentist. Dr. Pribil located in Appleton City in the spring
of 1897 and has since that time been so successful in his line that he now
intends to make this place his headquarters. He was born and spent his youth in
Northeastern Kansas. In the spring of 1896 he graduated with honors from the
Kansas City Dental College and practiced at Adrian, Mo., before locating in our
midst. His work is now his best recommendation and he may be found in his office
