9 September 1877 The Atlanta Constitution ![]() New Advertisements FRANK X. BLILEY, General Agent of Egyptian Balm and City Funeral Undertaker. Atlanta, GA., September 1st, 1877. To My Friends and the Citizens in general: HAVING resumed the business of Undertaking I thought it proper to let you know where to find me, in case of need. I have always thought that undertaking in Atlanta was somewhat behind other cities in progress, and modern advancement, and hence I sought to profit by inquiry in all parts of Europe and Asia, and am thus able to control everything pertaining thereto, I have everything necessary for the prosecution of said business. I have a full stock of Oriental and American styles of Metallic Burial Cases and Caskets, Emblems and Insignias for Orders and Societies decorating purposes, and in fact everything belonging to a first class Undertaking Establishment, and in greater variety than heretofore kept in any house in the south. I have also imported that Magnificent Oriental Balm, called the Egyptian Balm, which, as the Paris University says, is the best and Absolute Deodorizing, Disinfecting, Discoloring, Beautifying Embalming preperation in the World. And as I have secured the General Agency for the Southern States, I am enabled to bring it within the reach of almost everybody. It does away with that unnatural Heathen practice of "Body Freezing," which is both very unbecoming and filthy. The Egyptian Balm is used in all the large cities of Europe, Asia, and America, by first class families, instead of "Freezing persons to death," as has often happened, whereas the modern and becoming Embalming process, will afford relief to the apparently dead. Come, therefore and call on me if you are in trouble and I shall guarantee entire satisfaction in every particular. Hearses and Mourners Carriages always ready on call at the most reasonable rates. Office and Ware rooms No. 26 West Alabama, between Broad and Forsyth streets. P. S. -- Pianos re-polished and all kinds of Musical Instruments Repaired and guaranteed. Fine Gilt-Edge Furniture, made to order. Very Respectufully, FRANK X. BLILEY |
