A Modern Establish ment Where Every Homelike Con venience Is Afforded The friends of Harry G. Poole, the well known funeral director, are con gratulating him upon the splendid suc cess he has achieved since, a few years ago, he began his present line of work. Mr. Poole has just moved into his own building at 96 South Pryor Street. In convenience and beauty of arrange ment for its purpose it is, perhaps, the most modern in the entire South. Mr. Poole designates it as his Fu neral Home—and rightly so. Bright, airy—built upon the lines of a modern private home—and furnished with elegant, cheery fittings, its interior presents at once an appearance which helps to dispel the gloom so naturally attendant upon those who have occa sion to visit an establishment of this kind. There is no suggestion of the gloomy, melancholy air which so fre quently encircles the business house of the undertaker. GROVER C. BODEN, Manager. 7 wo Large, Airy Par- lors Take the Place of Commonly Designated Chapels In the place of what is commonly termed as the “chapel” in most under taking establishments, Mr. Poole has provided two large, airy parlors, which are homelike in their appoint ments. These are so arranged that two funeral services can be held at the same time, should occasion arise, without conflict of any kind. Every convenience is provided, and a funeral conducted in one of these parlors is similar in every detail to a home service. In addition, a new, and what will doubtless prove a most desirable fea ture, is the furnishing of special bed rooms on the second floor, where strangers passing through the city with the bodies of loved ones can spend the night in quiet, free of charge, of course, and be near their deceased,members. In fact, the new Funeral Home o£ Mr. Poole is homelike in its every ap pearance, and his friends are invited to drop in and inspect for themselves his model, new and handsome business house. HARRY G.
