Embalming; Undertakers and undertaking

A “Practical Embalmer and Demonstrator” called on me a while ago and
kindly informed me that his “Fluid” was the only kind worthy of the
name. I heard him through and then gave him some of my personal
experience, which was altogether different. I tell you when they come
around and malign our friends, we want to look out for them, and the
Excelsior Preservative has helped us through too many tough places to be
counted out now. When we want some more you may be assured you will hear
from us, as there is nothing to equal the Preservative.

                                                          J. E. HOUSTON.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                           Jordan, N. Y., June 18, 1886.

CRANE & ALLEN:

The Excelsior Preservative is the best I ever used, having been in the
Undertaking business 16 years and tried almost all kinds of “Fluids”
made; and must say that the Preservative takes the cakes—yes, the “whole
baking.”

                                                           M. D. HOWARD.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                         Santa Fe, N. M., Sept. 6, 1883.

CRANE & ALLEN:

I have just shipped to New York the body of J. A. Tyler (son of
President Tyler). I embalmed him with your Excelsior Preservative, using
two gallons of it. The body arrived in New York in first-class
condition, and everything was satisfactory.

                                                          J. W. OLINGER.

And again, Aug. 18, 1884:

CRANE & ALLEN:

I like your Preservative and think it the best. Have had good success
with it, and it is truly “Excelsior.”

                                                          J. W. OLINGER.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                         Burr Oak, Mich., Nov. 24, 1887.

CRANE & ALLEN:

I am well pleased with the Preservative. I took up a body the other day
that I embalmed the middle of last August, and it had not changed in
appearance at all, which is a sufficient guarantee to me of the
excellence of your Preservative.

                                                          G. W. BULLOCK.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                        Rochelle, Ills., April 16, 1887.

CRANE & ALLEN:

Your Preservative has done my work all right, and I have from one to 500
pressing the claims of the different “Fluids” during the year, but it is
a safe rule to “let well enough alone,” so I shall continue to use yours
only.

                                                           D. A. BAXTER.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                             Lebanon, Ky., May 21, 1883.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We have a supply of “Fluid” on hand at present, but we confess that it
is not as good as yours. In fact, from our experience, we think your
Preservative is the best in the market.
