NEW EQUIPMENT

A superb limousine hearse and an
equally modern convertible motor
funeral car and ambulance were dis
played with pride yesterday by North

a distinct addition to the funeral

The hearse is furnished with floral

supplied with luxurious seats for nine
persons, making it possible in most
cases, for the entire family or imned
late relatives to make the trip to-
gether in one car. The seats are
easily removable, converting the car
into a commodious and most comfort
able ambulance This car also is splen-
didly lighted and has all the best of
equipment
1t is the intention of the company
to use their older motor equipment for
service as formely, and to place the
better vehicles at the service of pa
irons who desire the best that modern
genius affords When congratulated on
the improvements installed, Mr..
Northup modestiy stated that the age
we live in demands such things, and
they must be supplied. He said that
the new service will be subject to
call at all hours of the day and night
