We have had good success with your Preservative as you will see by the enclosed newspaper clipping:
“The bodies of Mrs. Rose Stern and Frank Malloy when brought to the city were given in charge of Mr. Weir, undertaker, and by him prepared for burial. That of Frank Malloy was taken to South Bend, and there kept until Sunday afternoon. Although held so long and moved so many times, so perfect was the preservation and so natural the expression that it was remarked: ‘He is not dead, but sleeping.’ Every one who beheld Mrs. Stern’s countenance will bear testimony to its perfectly life-like appearance, and that she lay as if asleep in her casket on the morning of the funeral. Taking into consideration the extremely hot weather; the manner of death and the length of time before burial, the perfect state of preservation the bodies were in was remarkable and a credit to Mr. Weir, who has both skill and good taste as an undertaker.”
We shall continue to use your Preservative, having had such remarkable success with it.

Crane & Allen:
Your Preservative proved entirely satisfactory, but while using it I was persuaded to try another kind of which I have a large supply on hand. When used I will if I buy any, get yours as I think it far superior to any I have yet used, and I have tried nearly all.
