CUT No. 1 can be liifted 
over these obstructions and still remain in its place. The 
truck must be used to be appreciated. There are spiral 
springs in each post which are pointed and the casket rides 
perfectly smooth. The most inexperienced pall bearers 
will handle it successfully. 
One person is all that is 
necessary to either withdraw 
or place into a crypt or shelf 
the heaviest case. The rack 
or platform upon which the 
casket rests, has rolls con- 
nected with a sprocket chain 
and the moving forward or 
back of the casket is accom- 
plished by tnrning the crank 
on the side of the truck. The 
crank in the center is used for 
elevating. 
All that is required is for 
us to know how high your 
highest crypt is, and yon can 
leave it all to us. We are 
equipped for making trncks 
of any kind for cemetery pur- 
poses. In the next issue of 
PARK AND CEMETERY 
we will show a special truck 
for receiving bodies from ex- 
press and interurban cars. 
Cut No. 3 shows the casket 
raised to medium height. 
Cut No. 2 shows our vault 
truck with the casket low 
enough to be passed readily 
into the lowest crypt. 
Cut No. 4 shows the casket 
raised to the highest crypt.
