MAY CONCERN: — This is to certify that since the last 20 ^ears, 
there have been used in Forest Home Cemetery about 10,000 Portland Cement 
Markers, manufactured by Leo G. Haase. Every lot in this Cemeiery receives at 
least two such markers, and we are placing 1,000 three-inch markers on the single 
grave section each year. We are well satisfied with the markers, and have never 
had occasion to replace one. Signed^ GEORGE C. THOMAS, Supt.

Gentlemen: — I can now readily see the great advantage your device has over others, 
especially your ability to change the width. In using fiVe of your devices for lowering the five bodies, 
victims of the fire which occured on Lake Erie on Aug. 14th (the burning of the water works crib) we 
were compelled to reduce the opening of each device to 24 in., there being but 30 in. width allotted to 
each grave. They were laid side by side in one grave, and the bodies low’ered simultaneously, which 
was a complete success, and no other device on the market could have been used under the circum- 
stances. You certainly have made a success of your lowering device. 
Respectfully yours, 
FRED WIDLITZKI, 
Supt. Erie St. Cemetery. 
We solicit an opportunity to send devices to responsible parties on approval.
