Publishing this proclamation have. ana
ask your pardon for my holiness at TINS 'lme;
but you will find my motive is as much Tor
your own interest MS it is for mine. Can you
afford to purchase Monument, tablet or
G1ayestone, to mark the last resting place OF
your dear departed friend, from travelling
man who is not practical workman, when
YOU have plenty of opportunities to visit
some marble shops in your vicinity Can
this travelling n,tiSdnce sell as cheap or
cheaper than q fair workman can at his own
workshop or salesroom, attending to his
work every day, without any travelling eX-
nerses Can YOU by small sample Of
Stone and pictures generally carried by those
travelling men, see how Mcnument. Tab
let. or Headstone will look when completed
Can you afford your farm produce, goods,
or manufactures, as cheap travelling yourself
or hiring some man to travel around the
country, as you could by staying at home :;
Anv man who has to travel to sell his goods,
must either furnish cheaper goods, OF charge
more for them, than the man VINO can sci
his goods at home while attending to ms
manufacture. | do not claim to be COD
send, irving to benefit mankind at nv eX-
pense but. l claim you can save money,
give yourself better satisfaction by visiting a
marble shop, where honesty is respected
and looking over fair assortment OF Gem
etery Work than you can in any other way:
Consult yonr own ability and feelings; ana
when the time is set in your own MIND that
YOU are rea ly to purchase some menlen'o ior
your dear departed one, ask you to come ana
examine my Stock, Work, and Prices, before
purchasing. If you find after looking my
property, you can do better at some other
shop, providing you are sure OF getting inc
same quality of stock and work, then VIII
consider it your duty to purchase whefe you
can get the best for the least money.
Tn copclu sion will say that below give
vou n few names of we'll known respectable
citizens of your surrounding for reference OF
fair dealing; these gentlemen, with many
more, which space will not allow me TO pup,
lish, have had my work. Hoping nave
