Is Your Cemetery Satisfactory? 
Are you caring for it economically? 
Is green grass the leading feature 
with shrubbery to give a proper set- 
ting to the monuments? IF NOT, 
then you need Howard EvartsWeed, 
Landscape Architect, 1715 Railway 
Exchange, Chicago, to modernize 
things for you. 
“The lot owners won t let us you 
say? If so, you have gone at it in 
the wrong way. You need Weed to 
give his stereopticon lecture — “Mote 
Beautiful Cemeteries” — in your 
town to point out the right way. By 
means of the stereopticon pictures the 
difference between the good and bad, 
between the graveyard and the mod- 
ern park cemetery is vividly shown. 
You are wasting your efforts in 
caring for the cemetery under present 
conditions. Get out of the rut. Wake 
up, even if you do have charge of 
dead people. 
Write Wceif today and he will send you 
some interesting literature.
