16 pages, published by The Casket Publishing Company. This issue is based primarily on lots of great stories relating to the Undertaking business, with lots of great old graphics and advertisements.

This very old and very rare funeral magazine is in very good condition. The is minor tearing on a few of the pages, and the cover is just barely hanging on, please be very careful opening the pages. They are all still intact but could come loose if not handled gently. The front cover and inside pages are nice and white and somewhat clean, but the back page has some major foxing from being left in the sun. Also, the main crease where it was folded in half, it tends to want to tear at that crease, so again, be very gentle when turning the pages. I have many other vintage funeral magazines for sale.
