The Colour of Your Coffin!
Many articles of everyday use are now procurable in plastics. Plastics are no logger new to us. In America there are plastic baths of special composition to resist heat. But this one takes the prize!
At Queenstown a resident has patented plastic coffins. It’s a fact! What the New Zealand Undertakers’ Conference will think of the idea we may hear after their meeting at Queenstown to-night. Look at it this way. Pink’s your favourite colour. Then you’ll be “in the pink” all the way. Plastics are procurable in almost any colour! An advertisement might read: “Help the housing problem, save timber ; to be buried in plastic is much simpler! ”
