OPENING OF THE A. NJ. JOHNSON
UNDERTAKING ESTABLISH
MENT.

All during the day Monday there
was a stream of people pouring into
the new undertaking establishment
opened in the Boyd Building by Mr.. A.
N. Johnson, who formerly conducted a
similar business in Mobile, Ala. Fully
one thousand people attended the open
ing, which was the grandest ever wit
messed in Nashville. There is not an
other undertaker's establishment in
the city, white or colored, which has
finer funeral supplies to meet the de-
mands of the people than has Mr.
Johnson. Not only are his funeral
supplies superb, but the building and
it's furniture are inviting. In the
building you will find beautifully
furnished waiting room and library
lflled with some of the best books
which you can read while you wait anC
rest. Next we come to the show room
which cannot be surpassed by any, tn
caskets and touches being of the yer.
latest style.
So often there are homes which ar
not suitable for funerals, and Mr.. John
son has thought OF this and has
chapel handsomely furnished, in whic
services may be held Mr.. Johnso
did not give his visitors, as had bee
