Toledo, O., March 8th. 1894 
To the Members of the Association of American Cemetery Sup- 
erintendents. 
Friends: — As the time glides rapidly by we 
are reminded that our Eighth Annual Convention 
is not far distant and sufficiently near to consider 
what each one of us can contribute toward making 
the meeting a success. You all know how difficult 
it is to formulate a program of proceedings, and be- 
ing satisfied that you all are interested in the suc- 
cess of our meetings I appeal to each and every one 
of you to aid the Executive Committee by suggest- 
ing subjects for papers and discussion or by volun- 
teering to prepare such and to help in making the 
meeting both profitable and pleasant. As all the 
members are readers of this, our official organ, 
much money and time can be saved by com- 
municating ideas and plans through its columns 
which Mr. Haight will be glad to devote for that 
purpose, or if you prefer, address your communica- 
tions direct to the Executive Committee, the mem- 
bers of which you will find in our last proceedings. 
Eriends, this appeal is to each one of you per- 
sonally the same as if I had written a letter to each 
of you individually and I trust that you will give 
the request proper thought and reflection and send 
in your ideas and suggestions without delay. 
Respectfully, FRANK EuRiCll, Sec. and Treas.

J. S. Armstrong, Prairie Du Chien, Wis. If I was to ask 
the question, what do cemetery officials, and lot owners in 
particular, most desire, or rather stand in need of, the answer 
would be, more light as to cemetery improvement, and for 
that light, I would say see the Modern Cemetery. 
THE NEW HIINDY BINDER

invention for keeping the num- 
bers of theMONUMENTALNEWS 
in good condition. The method 
of binding allows the pages to 
lie perfectly flat, whether one 
or a dozen numbers are in the 
binder. Any number can be 
taken out and replaced without 
disturbing the other numbers. 
The binders are strong and dur- 
able and have the title of Modern Cemetery on the side in 
gilt, an ornament to any desk 01 reading table. We will supply 
them to subscribers in embossed cloth covers, 50 cents. Heavy 
flexible paper covers for 35 cents. By mail post-paid.
