COMPLIMENTARY TO A. N. JOHN.
SON.

The people of Nashville appreciate
excellent service, such as our popular
undertaken Hon. A. N. Johnson, has
been giving them. Recently he has
conducted with complete satisfaction
some of the most elegant funerals in
the history of Nashville, and on each
occasion has been the recipient OF
praise from those whom he served, as
well as those who are wont to observe.
His embalming has been subject OF
wide comment, because the like has
not been seen before. The lifelike ap-
pearance is always commented upon
with highest praise. Mr.. Johnson has
paid no attention to the little knocks"
of some, merely stating that he has no
time to quarrel and attend to his bust
ness, too. He has so far out distanced
competition until it is not question
of comparison but of difference, until
an opposition put forth the rumor that
for such fine funeral cars, carriages
and service the prices must be pro
portionately. higher; but the people
wanted the Johnson kind of service
and 10 and behold instead of being
higher, the only higher thing was the
quality of his service. Failing in this
they gave it out that he did not do So
ciety work When approached, Mr..
Johnson stated that he was here to
serve societies, or anybody else, who
wanted the best service, and was no
respecter of persons in service.
His business has been steadily on
the increase from the first week and
his success is assured in Nashville.
Even the children in the street know
his horses, funeral cars, carriages
everywhere they see them, and they
are a credit to the colored race. His
Ladies Waiting Rooms are more large
ly used and appreciated by our ladies,
who care to rest while down in the
city He is about the busiest man in
the city and still he finds time to lend
his talent in assisting in church af-
fairs throughout the city, and his gen
eral polite department and courteous
treatment to our people in all walks
of life are making for him a large
number of friends and supporters.
Mr.. Johnson originates and designs
most of his high-class caskets and
they are noted for their elegance in
style and proportion, and the public
marvel at the splendid funerals he
produces at such moderate prices. He
gives his personal attention to every
: detail of the business, day and night
and does not delegate to others the
: funerals, but kindly, gently and with
love and grace dignifies the service in
manner such as was never seen be
J fore.
He has presented to thousands OF
our homes an artistic calendar, got
ten out under his direction, by the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing House, which
the people appreciate to large extent
When a man accomplishes himsel
in every detail of business until h
is Justly called an artist; when h
has the capital and employs it to thu
extent of such elegant equipage; whe1
he is reasonable in his prices, affable
! yet firm, in his service-in fact, a lead
, er of his profession, it is up to the pee
pie whether they will support such
man. Such man is A. N. Johnson
! and the people are giving him NOR
: support than he anticipated.
