Chiles, Web. 1702 We are entering upon our second year in the Undertaking Busi ness in Omaha and we take this method of expressing our deep appreciation of confidence and respect that the many families have shown in our efforts to please and our ability to render service by calling us into their homes or sending their loved ones to our parlors where they receive the same tender care as in the home. In the fu ture, as in the past, our time and energy will always be spent in properly preparing the body, giving an expression to the face, and restoring the lifelike appearance; for a body properly prepared, and buried in the most ordinary priced casket, leaves a better impression with the family and friends than a body poorly prepared and buried in the most expensive casket, and we will spare neither pains nor expense in procuring the materials so necessary to obtain these results. We shall continue to render the same high class service in every case and our prices will be as low as can be obtained any place for the same quality of materials used. We strive to be first in quality of work, first in courteous service, and first in reasonable prices.
