Embalming; Undertakers and undertaking

I want to write you about our first case of embalming. It was the wife
of a prominent citizen, and it was desired to keep the body until the
arrival of friends from Virginia. She died of a heart difficulty, and at
the time of her death was so black her own relatives would not have
known her. We went to work with the Preservative and followed the
instructions of your Manual, and the appearance of the body improved
every day, and at the end of five days many people said it was the
handsomest corpse that they had ever seen. We were a little anxious
ourselves about the results, it being our first case, but we are
receiving congratulations from everybody. We now see that there should
be no difficulty in any person taking your Manual of Instructions and
the Preservative and doing a good job of embalming just as well the
first time as any.

                                                           C. C. NELSON.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                          Pulaski, Tenn., Feb. 18, 1884.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We are well pleased with your Preservative; in fact, we prefer it to all
other embalming preparations.

                                                       J. T. OAKES & CO.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                               Sidney, O., June 1, 1883.

CRANE & ALLEN:

What will you charge us for a full set of instruments? We could get a
set free by buying ten gallons of Fluid, but we don’t think there is
anything equal to your Preservative, and the instruments might be too
dear even if free, if we had to buy ten gallons of Fluid of some one
else to get them.

                                                      SALM, MORTON & CO.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                         Plymouth, Mass., July 25, 1883.

CRANE & ALLEN:

Enclosed find check for $102.00, the amount due you for Preservative. We
are using it fast now, and like it very much.

                                                     E. C. RAYMOND & CO.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                          Pontiac, Ills., July 22, 1884.

CRANE & ALLEN:

Send me one carboy of the Preservative. It has given me good
satisfaction and I shall use no other, although have had inducements
from various other parties to try some of their Fluids. Yours suits me
very well, and I have no desire to change. Ship as soon as you receive
this.

                                                           GEO. W. RICE.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                              Macon, Mo., June 17, 1886.

CRANE & ALLEN:

I have plenty of the Preservative on hand for the present. Will handle
no other, as it does the work O. K. You can look for my order when in
need of any Fluid.

                                                        GEO. P. REICHEL.
