Cut No. 1 
Picture No. 2 shows the device with one 
end out, revealing the hangers and guide 
boxes. The black parts shown are metal. 
The cribbing is made of the best quality of 
spruce planks two inches thick, or any thick- 
ness desired. The hangers and guide boxes 
are made of the best metal, and everything 
is painted, making a device that can be used 
for years. 
A trial will convince any cemetery man that 
this cribbing device is indispensable. We 
will ship it to any part of the United States 
with privilege of returning it, if it does not 
give entire satisfaction. 
For prices and terms address 
in every cemetery. Cut No. i is 
a view of the Device in the 
cemetery at West Pittston, Pa., 
where it has been in use for 
more than a year. Note how close 
the open grave is to those adjoin- 
ing it. 
The cribbing affords positive 
assurance against caving and 
makes it perfectly safe for a per- 
son to stand at the edge of the 
opening. Without the cribbing 
it would be impossible to prevent 
caving. Graves may be left open 
any length of time without danger 
of caving. 
The Device will pay for itself in 
the saving of labor in a short time. 
It is substantially made and easily 
adjusted by any workman.
