Business was quiet last week and, if it had not been for funeral work, would have been exceedingly dull. Even the Saturday special sales have been small since Mothers' day, which was a record day for business. The Killar- neys, Taft, Milady, Sunburst, Ward, Shawyer and Mock are all good.

Anderson, made by the resignation of Miss Edith Christy, who is to be married in June. L. H. Neubeck has begun work on cemetery urns. He will be rushed from now until Memorial day.
