Scureman Funeral Home
Conveniently located in Wyoming
at 219 Wyoming Avenue is ably man-
aged by W. T. and James Scureman.
Truly ay mest metropolitan service
rendered by’ the most eminent men
in this essential profession who are
of the foremost progressive citizens.
There is no vocation requiring for
its successful prosecution a greater
natural aptitude than that of the
modern funeral director and this par
ticularly applies to these well known
representatives of this valued pro-
fession. Through untiring efforts
and commendable methods they have
progressed from a modest beginning
until today they possess a clientele
that extends over many miles of
territory.
As is generally known the Scure-
man Funeral Home is recognized as
among the most proficient and con-
scientious people in this line in this
section - and this distinction is well
merited, as the excellent service that
they render in the practice of the
profession will testify: It may be
truly said that no one in this sec-
tion engaged in the arduous profes-
sion of which they are able expon-
ents has given their profession
closer study or is better ‘equipped |
from every standpoint to ‘carry out
all of the work attendant upon the
calling, -
They have provided a modern fun-
eral establishment, which is mot only
an aecommodation to those in apart-
ments and small homes, but is one
of the most elegant establishments
of this Kind ‘in this part of the state.
It is in accord 'with the latest and
most metropolitan plan of diplomatic
service for it has become the ac-
cepted system in the metropolitan
centers for people even in the most
palatial homes to make use of such
perfectly appointed funeral homes
as this one.
They have gained the mame as re-
liable funeral directors which is not
confined to the city alone, but ex-
tends throughout this and adjoining
territory. It is eminently proper
in this review of the community to-
day that we give the Scureman Fun-
eral Home special mention as am-
ong our highly esteemed and useful
citizens, who, in the successful prac-
tice of this useful profession have
gained the good will of all who
have dealings with them.

this is the leading concern of this
nature in this part of the state. He
has done excellent work in many
homes throughout this territory and
is pleased to refer prospective custo
mers to their list of satisfied pat-
rons.
By far the most important finan-
cial transaction in the life-time of
the average man is the building or
the purchase of a home. Nothing
else costs so much or is used s0
long. No act in the average man’s
life necessitates the exercise of such
good judgment and common sense
as the providing all that is dearest
in the world to him.
‘Weather stripping of windows and
doors of a house and buildings is
coming more and more to be con-
sidered a necessity and less of a
semiluxury than heretofore. And
rightly so too— for weather stripping
prevents the rattling of doors and
windows to say nothing of the elim-
nating of draughts and keeping the
rooms at an even temperature there-
by eliminating doctor bills.

Weather Strips :
And the cost of this equipment for
your building or home, whether it is
newly constructed or an old one—is
so small that wthin a short number
of four or five years the saving in
fuel alone will recompense the own-
er for expeditures in installing same.
If you desire that your new home
be so constructed that the kiddies
may safely frolic on the floor, any
time, even in close proximity to
doors and windows, or if in your
present domicile you are subject to
drafts and the seeping in of dirt,
rain and snow-—so prevalent in the
older structures, we suggest that
you phone this enterprising firm and
have one of their representatives
call and explain to you the benefits
derived from having your home equip
ped with weather strips. ; 3
Harry W. Poust is a man with
years of experience in contracting,
and building work. He understands
every phase of this endeavor but
particularly he has specialized on
weather stripping, screening, etc., un-
til today he ranks as an expert

very highly and feel proud to haye
him with us in this big issue.
