Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Jan 1923Vol. 16 No. 32 Pg. 4 Col. 6 ANNOUNCEMENT I beg to advise the public that I will shortly sever my connections with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company who I have represented here for the past nine years. I have taken over the business of Mr. S. N. Beckett, deceased. I am in a position now to attend to any calls in the under line. In the near future I will be in a position to furnish black or gray automobile or horse drawn hearses, new equipment and all the new and scientific equipment in embalming. With the exception of the more modern equipment and methods, my aim will be to conduct the business in the same way as Mr. Beckett has done for the past 30 years. I will beat his old stand, N.E. Corner Main and Shelby Street, day and night. All Calls answered promptly. I wish to thank all my friends in the insurance business for the favors extended me and wish to advise them that at any time if anything should happen in the insurance business that I can be of any service toyou, I am at your service and will gladly advise or assist you. I respectfully solicit work in any line. JOHN A. WOODHEAD Funeral Director Successor of S.N.
