Curious antique ads reveal odd obituaries and bargains
The fragment shows unusual wanted ads and epitaphs from a bygone era, noting a graveyard advertising irony and humorous notices. It mentions a pickle and fruit business inscribed on a gravestone, a widow paying tribute to her husband’s outfitting business, and a cow advertisement claiming eccentric traits. A bold English notice seeks a deaf, dumb wife, while another ad lists a learned polymath seeking a private secretary.
