Abraham. Isaac. Jacob. the Hebrews

Caesar and his lsgions, Agamemnon,
Xerxes, the Persians, and all the

tiny new moons of skin.
II you were able to break up the
horny hill of your little toe-or even
soft corn-you would have a multi

units that go to make up a corn.

Community Mausoleum"

The bodies of the rich and fa-
nous are frequently placed in pri-
vate or public "Mausoleums."
Generally speaking, burial in a pri-
vate mausoleum is expensive. For
this reason Community Mauso-
leums" are being built, in many
places throughout the country, in
order that people of ordinary means
can have the same form of burial
as that accorded the rich and fa-
nous. This is in keeping with the
spirit of the age and the Progress
of the times. This form of burial
is first of all, humane and sanitary.
1t is also a loving and tender dis
position, of the bodies of our loved
ones. 1t moreover demonstrates a
thoughtful care for the health of
the living.
Years ago: Sir Henry Thomp-
son" of England, denounced the
graveyards and said: No dead
body is ever placed in the ground
without polluting the earth, the
air and the water above and below
it." The time is surely coming
when cemeteries will no longer be
permitted to exist in the neighbor-
hood of thickly settled commune
es. The Community Mausoleum"
at Perrysburg answers completely
the demand for a safe, sane and
sanitary form of burial.
There are a few choice crypts yet
to be taken. 1t would be wise to
make your arrangements NOW.

week days by the sexton or COM
pany representative any day by
