NOTHING LIKE IT! 
We have the only safe mechanism. The cut shows the entire lowering apparatus of our Casket Lowering 
Device. A DOUBLE controlling power at airtimes, without any weight being drawn by the chain. ALL 
OTHERS HAVE A SINGLE 
BRAKE, and depend upon Hie 
cliain to rotate one shaft, which 
means an accident should the 
chai 1 run off sprocket! or break. 
This device will lower a casket 
safely with the entire chain re- 
moved. We have a Sf^EClAL 
OFFER to make you, and wil 
give you a good discount to in- 
troduce our device in your lo- 
caiit>- during this month.

Gentlemen — The Lowering 
Device purchased of you about 
S'iven months ago has given 
perfect satisfaction in every par- 
ticular, and 1 balLve it to hi tlie 
only safe device made. Before 
purchasing yours I made a thor- 
ough investigation of other 
makes, had some on trial the 
same as you sent yours, and I 
would ratlier have one of yours 
than any other make. Tliey can 
e.xcuse me from using a device 
where tlie mechanism consists 
of cogs or gearing and a chain 
to control one side. It’s too 
riskv to suit me. 
Wishing you deserved pros- 
perity, I am. 
Yours respectfullv.
