Fisk's Patent Metalic Burial Cases
AIR TIGHT AND INDESTRUCTABLE
The attention of the citizens in Chicago and the
surrounding country, is respectfully called to
these new, beautiful and truly valuable cases, for
protecting and preserving the dead, for ordinary in-
terment, for vaults, for transportation or for any oth-
er desirable purpose and by means of which, bodies
after death can be preserved from decomposition for
a great length of time, without change of color or
features.
These cases though but lately introduced in the
eastern cities, have been admired and approved by
all who have examined them or tested their utility,
and are rapidly coming into general use, as may be
seen by copies of letters and certificates now in the
hands of Messrs. Woodson & Bates, who have been
appointed sole agents for the sale of these cases in
the city of Chicago and the surrounding country. A
supply of all the different sizes of these cases will be
kept constantly on hand, and for sale at the ware-
room of W.T. Woodson & Co., City Undertakers,
No. 232 Lake st., where the public are respectrully
invited to call and examine them.
