owns funeral turnouts TO have nice
looking vehicles and keep them in OK
cellent condition, and Mr. Lowe is no
exception to the rule. Six months ago
be gave the order to the Newark firm.
and although the building required a
great deal of time, Mr. Lowe is well
pleased with the result He now has
as line hearse as could be desired,
ono which for beauty and neatnesa il
would he hard TO surpass.
1t is trillo over the ordinary length.
Hard wood has boon used in the con-
struction, AMI four pillars ri chilly
carved Gdorn the corners, while the
rear doors and the front door and ven.
tilatorE are sufmountcd by neat cary
ing. The glass ia heavy plate and on
the sides extends the entire length of
the body Of The vehicle The orna-
mentatiou u the top is changeable.

running gear is constructed after the
most approved designs which guarantee
ease of motion. The whools are lifted
