Embalming; Undertakers and undertaking

We would not be without your Preservative, as it gives perfect
satisfaction and we regard it as indispensable in the burial of the
dead, both as a deodorizer and as a Preservative.

                                                   CHAS. BECHSTEIN & CO.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                      Pecatonica, Ills., April 28, 1885.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We are using your Preservative and think there is nothing better in the
market. We are using it now in every case of death.

                                                         ATKINSON BRO’S.

                                         Clarinda, Iowa, March 19, 1886.

CRANE & ALLEN:

Send two carboys of the Preservative. I like it; have done some good
work with it; in fact, have astonished some people by the change it will
make in the appearance of a dead body.

                                                          A. T. CLEMENT.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                     Chillicothe, Ills., Sept. 17, 1883.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We received last month from you the package of the Preservative, and
last week I had my first case of embalming—an old man who died from
dysentery, and the friends wanted the body kept until relatives arrived
from Kansas. I had never used any Fluid or seen any embalming done, but
had got posted from your Manual by reading it over. The doctors said
that it would be of no use to try to keep the body without ice, as it
would be “as black as your hat” in 24 hours, in such weather; but I told
them it could be kept all right if I could have my way, and after a
while the friends consented to it, but procured some ice so as to have
it ready. I followed out your instructions exactly, using about a gallon
of the Preservative, and at the time of the funeral the body looked as
natural as life.

                                                      M. H. BAILEY & CO.

And again, Dec. 17, 1883:

CRANE & ALLEN:

Please find enclosed draft to balance account. When we have used the
Preservative all up, we will want some more of it, as we would not want
to be without it now.

                                                      M. H. BAILEY & CO.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                           Wakeman, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1887.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We have about half of the last shipment of the Preservative, but you can
ship us another. We have never had it fail us and have given it some
severe tests. We embalmed two bodies last summer in the hottest weather,
that went into Nebraska and Colorado, and they were received in splendid
shape, after being transported for days in hot cars.

                                                         PEASE & BRIGHT.

                                        Birmingham, Ohio, Aug. 18, 1884.
