A New Wooden Device 
We have placed this Device on the mar- 
ket to take care of the trade who want a 
very low priced Device. It is as perfect 
as it is possible to make a Device out of 
wood, and we will ffladly g-ive full de- 
scriptions and prices on inquiry. 
The above view shows the Device ex- 
tended its full length, 7 ft. 6 in. inside 
measure, and the one to the right shows 
it open for use and folded for transporta- 
tion. The length can be charged 2 ft. 
by telescoping. It takes up less space 
arourd the grave, and makes a better 
appearance than any other on the market 
made from wood. Our reputation is at 
stake, and we have left nothing undone 
to make this Device a complete success.
