Coffins. A Very Large Assortment of all sizes, at A. Van Doorn & Sons, at reduced prices.
Does anyone else find it strange to advertised that there is a large supply of coffins at bargain prices? I would think that no one will be induced to purchase a coffin because the price is good, but that a person would only buy a coffin if it is needed, at whatever price it might cost.
sold downtown, too

Pop by the post office, stop in the hardware store, get lunch, then go grab a coffin or two… and head on home.
“Hi honey, I’m home. I got you a present while I was downtown. You’ll never guess…”
