THis is a Grave Proposition 
Which has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of 50,000 people who can 
vouch for the safety, beauty and appearance of the Folding Casket Lowering 
Device which is in keeping with all modern funeral furnishing. Don’t 
compare our device with single brake imitations. We use double clamp 
friction brake, works automatically. There is none just like it. It is 
always ready, quickly adjusted and makes a fine appearance. Our grave 
linings are fine. We are pioneer manufacturers in the lowering device 
business, and can show you the new telescoping device, which was 
shown in July issue of this journal. You will make no mistake; take your 
choice. We want your orders. DO IT NOW. Our low price will 
astonish you. 33 devices sold in city of Detroit to cemetery officials.

I hav.e finished the construction work 
on Koselawn Cemetery, which has 
consisted of the designing and execu- 
tion of the grading, building roads, 
water works, planting, etc., and would 
like a position with another cemetery, 
park, or charge of a private estate. My 
knowledge of landscape architecture 
was obtained in the office of Frederick 
Law Olmsted. I am 39 years of age 
and my family consists of my wife and 
boy, and we are willing to go to any 
section of the country. My term of 
office expires November 1st, but I could 
possibly make arrangements to leave 
sooner if necessary. For reference
