Do you know that we have in Grea
Bend, one Of the largest and most
complete stock Of monuments and
fine marble works In the state. We
refer to the W. ]. Sans Monument

loads Of stock on hand, from the bas,
stone, granite and marble in the
rough, to the very finest of complet.
ed work. From the very finest com
piete monument, to the more moder-
ate price small stone. 1t will pay yol
10 look over the show room. You
will be astonished to find as large
a stock Of monuments as is there.
In shown, including statuary.
Mr.. Sans buys in carload lots and
employs the very best Of workmen
and gives employment to eight pre-.
sons. He does not take your order
and send 1t away. He has the
goods here and you can inspect
them before you buy and you know
what you are buying. We do not
believe there Is as a complete a stocl
OF goods Of this character In the
state Of Kansas as the W. ]. Sans

tains an extra large stock but It
Is so arranged that It shows the ar.

Is no need Of sending away for mon.
uments.
