Some Valuable Additions

 Marietta Daily Leader, April 7, 1899

Mr. George Weiser, the undertaker, has made some very valuable additions to his business equipment in the way of wagons for the conduct of business.

He has had the home firm of J. H. Oesterle, the Wooster Street carriage builders, make for him a casket wagon or ambulance which in point of design and style of finish is much the finest that has ever been seen here. It is quite an innovation in the way of a casket wagon, as it has large plate glass panels in the sides and ends and is thoroughly up-to-date in every particular, being constructed of the very best material known to the carriage builder.

The other addition is a funeral car, which was purchased from the Riddle Coach and Hearse Co., of Ravenna, O., who made the shipment of the car to Mr. Weiser in a car of their own. In order to get the hearse into this car it was necessary to take off the regular wheels and put on a set of smaller ones to allow it to enter the freight car. 

It has a very massive and elegantly carved body, everything being of the heaviest and best wood obtainable. The workmanship is perfect. The wheels are equipped with rubber tires and the bearings are of the latest improved pattern, which makes them very easy running. There is no doubt that the car is the finest in this section of the state.

Mr. Weiser has been to great expense in getting these very handsome additions to his equipment and can feel justly proud of the selections he made when ordering the vehicles.
