REICH & YACKLY.

10 commemorate the memory OF
our dear and departed ones there is
nothing SO appropriate as an endur-
ing monument cut from granite, and
the advance in the methods OF manu-
facture make it possible to secure
a suitable monument, mausOleum,
headstone or marker at a reasonable
cost.
No manufacturers or dealers are
better equipped to handle the work in
the right manner than are Rech 4
Yackly of New Prague, who have
been established in business since
1905. The originality and high artis-
tic standard of its design account for
the company's splendid success.
They have a complete plant, equip
ped with modern machinery, where
work is produced at the lowest cost,
saving customers the (intermedlate)
profits. Some of the finest mOnu-
ments to be seen in our cemeteries,
not only in New Prague, but i'll sur
rounding towns were erected by this
firm.
The members of this company are
both members of the K. C.'s and For
esters. Mr.. Yackly is the secretary
of the Retail Monument Association
of the State of Minnesota.
The reputation based upon their
years of business is a guarantee both
as to cost and price.
If any of our readers are contem-
plating the purchase of a monument
or of doing any sort of cemetery
work it would be we'll to get into
communication with Messrs. Rech &
Yackly.

born to them 10 are now living,
with % grand children and 1 great
grand child. They moved to Rich

gent in the 18th Illinois and was
known throughout the war as the
Flying Dutchman' and he still
bears that name with honor. The
old couple feel very grateful to
their children Cor remembering
