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 for cemetery use, of gray material, with brown, 
reinforced peak and scallop binding; made with detachable walls all 
or half way around.

“Weighed in the Balance and 
Found not Wanting.” 
The double telescoping steel device, which can be changed in size 
from 20 in. to 34 in. in width, and from 79 in. to 91 in. in length, 
has stood every test; has been tried under every circumstance t o 
which a lowering device is subject and in every instance has 
proven itself adequate to the occasion. The material Irom which 
the device is built, the simplicity of its mechanism, as well as the 
various sizes to which it can be adjusted, and the small amount of 
space that it requires when placed about a grave, its unlimited 
strength, as well as lightness of weight, and the operator being 
able to stand erect while operating, all are features which have 
brought the “Bomgardner” to the front.

Quite a sensation was created at the convention in Mliwaukee 
by the breaking down of a trestle upon which the Bomgardner 
Lowering Device was being exhibited. As they were placing on 
the device a large Springfield metallic burglar proof vault, the 
trestle gave way at one end and dropped the device about 3^ feet. 
The general impression was that the device would be damaged so 
that it could not be used further for exhibition, but it came out of 
the affray as sound as a dollar, and was not damaged in the least. 
This speaks well for the “Bomgardner,” as it was certainly a very 
severe test.
