J. S. Stanger, Furnishing Undertaker, Coffin and Casket Manufacturer, No. 4436 (Typo = 4346) Frankford Ave, Frankford. — One of the leading Philadelphia undertakers is Mr. J. S. Stanger. who established himself in this business in the year 1855. Mr. Stanger is prepared at all times to take entire charge of all funerals, furnishing everything—the winding sheet, flowers, hearse, carriages—obtaining the burial permits and other legal authority for burial. and indeed taking entire responsibility off the hands of the afflicted family. Should embalming be desired, all the proper arrangements are made, and a competent embalmer is secured at reasonable rates. Indeed, nothing could be more delicate or considerate than the attention that this gentleman bestows when called in to assist in the burial of the dead. He knows at a glance what is required, and his work is done so noiseless and quietly, and yet so effectually, that his services are invaluable in cases of death. For many years this much-respected gentleman has been one of the trustees of Paul-street Methodist Episcopal Church, and in all circles he is held in the highest respect and esteem.
