The splendid patronage and moral backing of our customers and

from a commercial plane to a “Shop of Liberal Monumental Arts.”
Wherein each day it is made possible to conceive some helpful
idea— ®
To create a beautiful design—or devise some special service that
will prove a boon to our customers, and contribute substantially
toward that ultimate goal—
To make the monumental profession stand pre-eminent in the pro
duction of approved arts.
We have no agents—the quality of material and workmanship
that we give cannot be sold through agents. Jjj
We have had 20 years experience—our motto is “Satisfaction.” ; j
Woodmen of the World and Woodmen Circle monuments we will
gladly furnish. Write or call at our shop for designs and esti
mates, East Newport, Arkansas.
