A. O. SAGE, D. D. S. Among Concordia's men of talent, integrity and professional skill is Dr. A. O. Sage, who is the oldest and most successful dentist of that city. He is not only expert in the mechanical practice of dentistry, but also thoroughly deserves the title Doctor of Dentistry and his experience and work make him an honor to the profession. His ambition since early years has been to master every detail of the dental profession, and the success which has attended his efforts is best evidenced by the extensive practice he enjoys.

Doctor Sage has been in active practice at Concordia since January 1, 1893. Kansas has been his home since 1882. He was born at Bloomington, Illinois, in May, 1864, a son of Samuel and Emma Sage. His father died in Illinois and in 1882 the widowed mother and her four children came to Kansas. Doctor Sage received most of his public school education in Illinois, and he had to earn his own way and pay his own expenses while preparing for a professional career. Entering the Kansas City Dental College, after a thorough course he was graduated in 1891, and after two years of experience elsewhere he located permanently at Concordia Doctor Sage is an active member of the Knights of Pythias and the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
