MAUS0LEUM NOW
ASSURED FOR ALMA
THAT SUCH BUILDING WILL BE
ERECTED IN ALMA THIS
COMING YEAR is
SETTLED.
The Only Question Is Its Size and
Whether You Will Have Part
of the Benefit.

Readers of this paper are entitled
TO information relative TO the pro-
posed mausoleum to be built in Alma
during the coming year.
A site has been selected and work
will begin early in the spring. Here
tofore only the wealthy have been
privileged to enjoy the advantages
of a private vault. The community
mausoleum makes il possible for
those in almost any circumstances to
enjoy the same privileges, the idea
being to bury above ground, thereby
avoiding all the disagreeable fea-
lures Of the underground burial, and
this can be done at cost less than
the cost of a modern ground burial.
There have been enough burial places
sold to insure building, the only
question now is how large it is to be.
The exterior Of the structure will be
of stone, the interior will be lined
with marble, while the floor will be
made of ceramic tile, with borders.
The windows will be of art glass and
the building will be equipped with
electric lights. The plans and speci-
fications are now filed with the COM
mission. II is planned to complete
the canvass in the next few weeks
Remember that we build only for
those who subscribe, so If you want
place for burial in this building
please notify the Flowers Mausoleum
Co, General Delivery, Alma, Michi'
gan, and one of their representatives
will call upon you.-adv.
