Philadelphia, April 14, 1886.
Crane & Allen:
I still have some of your Preservative on hand but had it not been for some so-called first-class funeral directors using very inferior preparations (presumably because cheaper) and thereby losing their cases and thus putting a temporary “black eye” on embalming, I would have used that all up and considerable more. You may rest assured that when I want anything of the kind I will order of you.
GEO. CHANDLER PAUL.
Greenfield, Ind., Aug. 5, 1885.
Crane & Allen:
Your Excelsior Preservative is the best embalming fluid in America. It has always done just what we wanted it to do.
