This has to be one of the coolest advertisements out of the 1920's I've ever seen, I picked this up from an 80 year old guy. Notice the 3 digit phone number, not only are they advertising for a modern ambulance but if you die on the way to the hospital, they offer funeral services too. Lol

Thanks Manikan and Harborguy, for love and comments, yeah if they are having a slow month in the funeral home, the ambulance make take the scenic route to the hospital, then your really screwed!
