HE CLARA VASE f°'' "^ ^' *''* Cemetery is a handsome as well 

 as one of the most useful articles ever placed on 

 the market. It is absolutely a new thing and takes the place of all the 

 old tin cans, bottles and various old truck that are usually found in the 

 cemetery for holding flowers, and prove such a disgrace where everything else 

 is beautiful and ornamental. It is composed of soUd glass and stands about 

 twelve inches high. The lower end is sharp-pointed so it can be embedded 

 about six inches in the ground and stand firm. It will hold sufficient water to 

 keep the flowers fresh and sweet, and will accommodate flowers with long as 

 well as short stems. The VASE is bell-shaped and the top has a diameter of 

 about fivi inches. The VASE is sold at a very low price and is within the 

 reach of all classes. It is very strong and well made and can not be broken by 

 rough handling. 



Samples sent on receipt of fifty cents (50c) each. 



These VASES will retail in the market for from 50c to 75c each, thereby 

 giving the dealer a profit of over a hundred per cent on his investment.
