friends are at such times acutely
sensitive and naturally particular

dictates of science and municipal
regulations so proceed with his ar
rangements SO that there will be. no
worry for the afflicted and no an
noying oversight or negligence dur

Mr.. G. M. Messenger, manager oil
the Wellman Undertaking Company,
has a reputation founded upon
many years OF sympathetic and eff
ficient service, bis management OF
obsequies is quietly methodieal and
always in accordance with the
wishes of those who are directly in

Mr.. Messenger is ably assisted on
all calls of ladies' and children by
his wife, who is an undertaken also,
and who is spoken of only in the
highest respect as a kind, sympa-
thetic and loyable little woman by
those who have come in contact

Those having called Mr.. and Mrs.
Messenger when the shroud of death
has fallen around loved one, have
found so much comfort in placing
the departed in their hands by
knowing they will receive kind
