ELEGANT NEW FUNERAL CARS.

II. E. simkins Buys Two in Addition to
the Two He Already Has.
Workmen We're engaged today unload-
ing from the train an elegant new fu-
neral car which Mr.. II. =. Simllins has
purchased to better attend to the fu-
nerals placed in his care. This hearse
has been manufactured to order and is
as fine a vehicle in its trimmings,
mountings and trappines as ever came
west of Chicago. Another car of the
same elegant design and construction
has been ordered and will arrive about
Jan. l. making three fine black cars ana
one white in Mr.. Smkins' equipment.
These additional hearses have become
necessary to enable MI. Simkins to
properly care for all the calls made up
on him. BY years of faithfully giving
his entire time and attention to the
funeral directing and undertaking bust
ness he has commanded confidence in
his work and host of friends in this
county and surrounding towns are
abroad expressing satisfaction with Mr..
Simkins in his business. Upon the ar
rival of these new cars there will not
be finer equipment of the kind in Iowa
and the public may expect the best OF
service from Mr.. Simkins.
