four years old, has attained a prOmi'

expectations Of some of its originators

has forged its way to the utmost Dor
ders of our great State. and, not stop
ping there, It has taken foothold In

found in Georgia, Mississippi, Arkau-

THE COFFIN TRUST
A Trust That Out Trusts all Other
Trusts and Robs the Dead.

AS the Of1lcefS OF the law aQ-
vance against one trust after the
other, smashing illegal combi-
nations which extort outrageous
prices from the public, let us
pray that sooner or later the
Coffin Trust will get it in the
neck" Among all the inhuman
monsters who glut their rapacity
upon human needs and human
helpessness, there is none to
compare with the Coffin Trust.

it robs the living. The Coffin

Of the field, this Coffin Trust
penetrates every walk of life,
and allows no man to bury his
dead until he has knelt to a pir-
atical combine and paid tribute
to pitiless master.
The Trust takes six poplar
planks worth perhaps twenty
five cents apiece. These planks
are thrown together, lined with
satin on the inside, vanished on
the outside, possibly cheap
piece of glass inserted in the top
plank, few pewter and gilt
ornaments stuck along the sides,
and there you area completed

some Sc or So or $40 or $12. Here
comes the afflicted husband or
wife or son or daughter or
brother or mother. A coffin
must be had. Time is short; the
necessity imperative The coffin
must be had. The Coffin Trust
does business upon that fact. 1t
numerically robs people by vir-
tue of that fact. What value Is
put upon this coffin? Forty
dollars, fifty dollars, sixty dol
lars, eighty-fve dollars. Every
day we can see these plain, cheap
and sometimes gaudy, collins,
which cannot by any sort of
calculation be shown to have a
greater value than a dozen or so
dollars, sell for five times that
amount. Why? Because h e
