A CRIBBING DEVICE 
Secures Economy and 
kSafety In Excavating' 
F (_)R excavating graves in cemeteries or in any other work of 
excavation where economy of space is necessary or where there is 
danger of the ground caving in, this device will soon pay for itself. 
Every cemetery superintendent knows the value of economizing 
lot space. With this device two more interments can he made in a lot 
16 feet square than without it, because excavations can be made closer 
together. In gravelly or sandy soil it is an invaluable labor saver, and 
graves can be left open any length of time without danger of caving in. 
The cribbing will be shipped to any part of the United States. If 
not satisfactory, after trial, it can be returned at our expense. We are 
satisfied that if you give it a trial you will not do any excavating with- 
out it at any price.

T he picture rejj re- 
sents an open grave 
with another grave 
on each side, and one on the 
end. Without this device, 
the opening would show at 
least from six to eight feet 
across the face of the grave. 
Not only is extra labor 
saved, but the device makes 
it perfectly safe to go di- 
rectly up to the edge of the 
opening at any time while 
the device is in use.
