NEW UNDERTAKING. PARLoRs.
The Elegant Establishment of Mr..
A. S. Watson On w. Second South
Street.

The Herald man dropped into the ele-
CANT new undertaking establishment OF
Mr.. A. S. Watson, located in the Mack
intosh block on West Second South
street on Saturday, and was shown
through by the proprietor
Everything proved surprise, snow
ing to what extent art is advancing,
even in the preparations made Tor the
burial of the dead.
This casket," said Mr.. Watson,
pointing to a beautiful black case,
costs $1,000 There have only been
three of them shipped to the West-one
here, one to Denver and one to san
Francisco Notice the elegance of the
trimmings and the general style and
makeup. OF course, none but the
wealthiest would choose such burial
case, but, then, we have them in price
from SIS up to the figure named. No
tice, if you please, the new features IN
the manufacture-the folding front and
top-giving ii more the appearance or
a couch than a casket, thus, seemingly,
removing Objectionable appearances.
Here is a new departure in caskets-
covering them with heliotrope, which,
in a measure. removes the sombreness
of the occasion. These goods are all
made in Chicago and New York. and
are the very best that are manufac-
tured. both as to style and finish.
Mr.. Watson is a man of means. which
enables him to take charge of funeral
entire, arranging and paying for all de-
tails out of his own pocket, relieving
the family of that annoyance, allowing
persons of responsibility time in which
to settle for the same, which, to many,
will prove a great convenience.
Mr.. Z. w. Hall, who formerly con-
Quoted a business on East Third South
street. has been engaged by Mr.. Wat
son to serve in the capacity of first as
siStant.
Regarding his removal to this city,
the Weekly Progress of Holdrege, Nep.,
saws:
THE first of next week Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Watson will leave for Salt Lake
CITY. In all probability their departure
will be permanent, inasmuch as Mr..
w. goes in search of a new business To-
cation, and his purpose is to engage
exclusively in the profession of under
taking, embalming and funeral direc-
ton. That he is well fitted for this lire
is amply vouched for by the fact that
he has taken a five years course or
lectures at the Massachusetts School OF
Embalming, for which he holds d.
ploma-
Mr.. Watson has been in business In
HoIdrege and Phelps county for the
past thirteen years, during which time
none have been more successful, man.
ciaily or otherwise. As result he
has accumulated a comfortable COM
petence, and is q man OF means. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Watson are members OF
the Presbyterian church, and among
the best residents in Holdrege. Mr..
Watson is also a member of the
knights of Pythias and Workmen, and
is popular in both business and frater-
nal circles. Their departure is a mat
ter of sincere regret, and former bust
ness associates and patrons will wish
them the same measure of success
which has attended their efforts in
Holdrege."
Salt Lake is to be congratulated on
the acquisition of such desirable citi-
zens as Mr.. Watson, and success Will
undoubtedly attend his business VEN
ture.
