PARK AND CEMETERY. 
At the annual meeting of the Richland 
Township (Ind.) Cemetery Association the 
following officers for the coming year were 
elected : President, John C. Walters ; sec- 
retary, William Bell. The association owns 
the John Nelson Cemetery, located in Rich- 
land Township on the Decker farm, and 
which contains three acres of ground. 
The annual meeting of the shareholders 
and trustees of Mound Grove Cemetery 
Association, Kankakee, 111., was held Feb- 
ruary 26, and the following officers elected ; 
President, Warren R. Hickox; vice-presi- 
dent, C. E. Swannell ; treasurer, C. H. 
Cobb ; secretary, C. F. Whitmore ; superin- 
tendent, A. H. Plant. The finances of the 
association are in excellent condition. Four 
thousand dollars was added to the perpet- 
ual care fund. The main improvement of 
the past year was the erection of a five- 
foot high steel picket fence. The main en- 
trance gate is to be replaced this year by 
a larger and up-to-date gate. 
THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
Our front cover illustration shows the 
style of fence enclosing Woodlawn Ceme- 
tery, Toledo, Ohio, which was designed, 
built and erected by the Stewart Iron 
Works Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Ap- 
proximately 12,390 lineal feet of fence, in- 
cluding gates and posts, were required. 
Height of fence when set is 75 inches, 
constructed with ^-inch square pickets, set 
diagonally and spaced 5 inches on centers, 
with 54'inch square intermediate pickets, 
9 inches long ; all pickets have 2-inch sharp 
forged points, and channel rails are 2x^xl4 
inches. Fence is made in panels, approxi- 
mately 8 feet long, with ^-inch center sup- 
ports and ll4-inch square line posts, with 
^-inch round braces securely fastened to 
plate 1 ft. 6 in. X 4 in. x in., all set in 
concrete. The fence embodies the Stewart 
PHILADELPHIA 
The Philadelphia Lawn Mower Com- 
pany announce that for several years they 
have manufactured roller bearing lawn 
mowers. The better results they have ob- 
tained from the roller bearing they attrib- 
ute to the fact that the rollers are the same 
length as the bearing, and give a full line 
contact along the entire length of the 
journal. 
These rollers, seven in number, are made 
of case-hardened steel, firmly secured in a 
steel cage, and enclosed by a steel jacket; 
consequently the great extent of friction- 
less roller surface and the freedom of the 
bearings is marked and noticeable. 
A recent test made with a journal which 
patent adjustable connections, which pro- 
vide for expansion and contraction of the 
material, due to climatic changes. 
The entrance gates, which are not shown, 
are 12 feet wide and walk gates are 4 feet 
wide and are hung on heavy ornamental 
cast iron posts, with 12-inch bases. All 
gates are of practically the same construc- 
tion as body of the fence and of the same 
size material. 
Woodlawn is one of the most attractive 
cemeteries in the country and its well kept 
condition and modern improvements are 
due in a great measure to the efforts of 
John Perrin, superintendent and clerk. 
This installation, comprising, as it does, 
something over two miles of fence, gives 
some idea of the facilities and output of 
the Stewart Iron Works Company, who 
make a specialty of heavy cemetery fence. 
LAWN MOWERS. 
had been revolved five million times was so 
little worn that a micrometer calliper could 
not measure the extent of the wear. The 
company have patents for their roller bear- 
ing lawn mower construction. This firm 
manufactures the “Graham” and “A” all- 
steel lawn mowers used in many parks and 
cemeteries. 
Their Eagle flexible frame horse movfer 
is also regarded as a superior equipment. 
It would not be surprising if the Philadel- 
phia Lawn Mower Company should some 
time come out with a motor mower of 
their own manufacture and of a quality in 
keeping with the high standards in the rest 
of their line. 
THE BARRETT COMPANY. 
It is announced that the American Coal 
Products Company and the Barrett Manu- 
facturing Company have decided to unite 
the good-will and reputation of both con- 
cerns under the name of the Barrett Com- 
pany. 
The American Coal Products Company 
is well known in connection with the sale 
of sulphate of ammonia, and heretofore 
owned the stock of the Barrett Manufac- 
turing Company. 
The fact that all the coal tar chemicals, 
disinfectants, roofing, waterproofing, road- 
making and wood-preserving materials 
have been made and widely advertised in 
the name of the Barrett Manufacturing 
Company has added to the good-will at- 
tached to the Barrett name. 
The new company will have the same 
amount of stock as the American Coal 
Products Company and the change in name 
will be accomplished by exchanging the 
outstanding certificates share for share. 
Some of the widely advertised trade- 
marks of the Barrett Manufacturing Com- 
pany will be recognized in Barrett Specifi- 
cation Roofing, Tarvia, for roads, and 
Congoleum floor coverings — the latter being 
manufactured and distributed by the Con- 
goleum Company department of the Bar- 
rett Company.
