As many of you know, I have a large (but sadly, incomplete) collection of funeral service magazines that go back into the 1920s*. These include MORTUARY MANAGEMENT, SOUTHERN FUNERAL DIRECTOR, EMBALMER'S
MONTHLY, AMERICAN FUNERAL DIRECTOR, and (my favorite) MORTICIANS OF THE SOUTHWEST.
One of my favorite features of MOTS (published 1947-2001) was the "new delivery" photos. Attached please find two pages from their August, 1972 issue. Although the caption isn't totally correct, my favorite photo is that of the Central cars.
Here also is a Crain's ad from the August, 1972 issue of SFD.
