Peonies 
very low prices 
for immediate orders 
A European grower, tired of Peonies, sold 
us his entire stock. Of course we secured 
liberal terms for taking the lot, and, as 
our special prices show, you are to receive 
the benefit. 
The assortment includes not only well- 
known varieties but also the scarcer Fes- 
tiva maxima and Nobilissima. 
A bed of Peonies is always a desirable 
adornment to a park or cemetery. Excel- 
lent for cutting purposes and indeed a 
worthy competitor of the rose. 
Write at once for list “Extraordinary 
Peony Sale” (we are not allowed to quote 
prices here). Orders booked now for 
fall shipment. Offer holds good for pres- 
ent only. Stock unsold by fall will be 
quoted in our catalog at the regular rates.

John Reid, Detroit, Mich., Supt. Mt. Elliot and Mt. Olivet Cemeteries, has used the 
Device 3,500 times without an accident. 
Folding Device Works, Ovid, Mich. Detroit, Mich., Oct. t, 1906. 
Gentlemen— In justice to the perfection and safety of the mechanism of your Casket 
Lowering Device as well as its neat appearance when in use, I wish to state that In the 
cemeteries under my charge we have nine of your Devices in use and used them at least 
3,500 times for lowering caskets of all sizes and weights without a single accident 
or mishap. John Reid, Superintendent Mt. Elliot and Mt. Olivet Cemeteries. 
Buy the best — There is none just like it 
A Lowering Device is not only important in lowering a casket, 
but is essential in softening the appearance and beautifying the 
grave, in keeping with modern funeral furnishings. Thirty-five 
sold to cemetery officials in city of Detroit, Mich. 
The above photo shows Device and Lining over the grave. The 
Border and Linings are fastened together, thereby covering the 
walls of the grave and the plank. When the casket is placed on 
the webbing and you are ready to lower the same, loosen the brake 
until the desired speed is obtained, and then step back. It lowers 
the Casket safely and noiselessly without anyone touching the 
Device. The casket can be raised as well as lowered. A child’s 
3 feet 3 inches, as well as an adult 6 feet 3 inches case or grave 
vault can be lowered. 
Our Patent Casket Guides are also shown. These keep the 
Casket from catching on the rough box and for directing the 
Casket squarely into the grave when on sloping ground. 
This Device is absolutely safe, easy to handle and elegantly 
finished. Also manufacturers of Little Giant Telescoping Device. 
The entire weight o/ device 7 y founds.

Folding Device Works, Ovid, MJeh. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 10, 1906. 
Gentlemen — I desire to say that I do not see where it would be possible to 
improve on your Lowering Device. We are using three at this time ( all your 
make) and out of three thousand interments made where your device was 
used I have yet to have the first accident.
