GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 
A GRAVE TENT 
Should always be set when the people 
need protection against rain, cold winds 
or the baking rays of a hot sun. 
Parties attending the funeral will leave warm, closed carriages 
in a perspiring condition without regard to the weather; they cannot 
bring a Tent, but surely appreciate the protection one provides, and 
are willing to pay liberally for such services rendered. Our Tents 
are modestly made tor cemetery use, of gray material, with brown, 
reinforced peak and scallop binding ; made with detachable walls all 
or half way around. 
You will know prices and all about one hundred and twenty=six 
different sizes and qualities by sending; for our Tent Circular.
