Show 2 Tin: hkk NEW UNDERTAKING PARLORS. tc HinJstrccU JTiaHhhment tf its Klni In tbc West. f Among the metropolitan institution w luVh Salt Lake can Ijo.im, the new timla taking parlors of A. S. Watson, at No. no We.hI Second South street, opposite the post office, takes a prominent place. In fact, in many respects, it is ahead of anything in this line in the city. One has hut to visit the establishment, note the taste displayed in the decorations and general plan of the whole place to know that Mr. Watson is an expert in his line and understands how to conduct such a business. .Mr. Watson is a graduate of the Boston College of Embalming and also holds a license from the National Hoard of Health, which very few undertakers so far have been favored with. This entitles Mr. Watson to ship bodies of persons died from in fee tious diseases. Lately he has associated with himself Mr. K. W. Hall as assistant. Mr. Hall is a graduate of the Champion College of Embalming. He has up to very re ccntly been in business on Third South St. I he stock of caskets and other under taking accessories is the most complete in the West. It was purchased and carefully selected from New York, Chicago and other eastern cities by Mr. Watson hinclf. Among the stock is a copper lined satin trimmed casket which alone costs jsi.ooo. The manufacturers claim it is the only one of two sold west of the Missouri river, the other having been sold in Denver. The other display of all grades and prices of caskets is unsurpassed, many styles being the first to be introduced in Utah, this especially being true of the couch casket. It opens on the sides and closely resembles a fine satin upholstered couch. Another style has also been introduced called the Royal Canopy Divan casket. It is very fine in its conception. Roth these styles are entirely new and novel out here. Mr. Watson, since the opening of his establishment, seems to have met with popular favor and many of these novel sty Its and new ideas in burial accessories are destined to become generally adopted, because of the distinct improvements over the old style. Personally Mr. Watson is a man of means. He pays all the funeral expenses where parties are responsible and renders the bill therefor in thirty days without charging any interest. This is certainly a very good help in many instances where the bereaved do not care to be troubled with the details of the financial arrangements. One of the latest additions to Mr. Wat- sons establishment is a black funeral car, one of the finest ever brought west, also a ' white funeral car which certainly surpasses anything which has been shipped across the mountains.. Both cars are rubber tired. Mr. Watsons former residence was in Nebraska where by close attention to busi-- , ness he accumulated an independent fortune. The Weekly Progress, published at Hold-- redge, Neb., said of Mr. Watsons departure: Mr. Watson has been engaged in busi- ness in Holdredgeand Phelps county for the past thirteen years, during which time none have been more successful financially and otherwise. As a result he has accumidatea a comfortable competei.ee ana is a man ot Both Mr. and Airs. Watson are T.t ans. memDers oi the Presbyterian church and among the best residents of Holdredgc. Mr. Watson is also a member of the Knights of Pythias and Workmen, and is popular in both business and fraternal circles. Besides being a member of the above orders, Mr. Watson is also an enthusiastic member of Salt Lake lodge No. 85 of Elks. A cordial invitation is extended to every one to visit his undertaking parlors. i fl :$r S. WBTSDN MORTICIAN, FUNERAL DIRECTOR and EMBALMER... BLACK AND WHITE HEARSES.
