Mr -Philip, undertaker, of Wahnate, has been under a course of lessons from a teacher who has imparted the same lessons to over 800 undertakers. Among those are the names of the most prominent firms in the Australias, notably that of Woodward and Co. and Mrs Kirby, of Sydney, the undertakers of Dunedin and Southland country towns. Mr Pengelley, a young South Australian journalist, is the teacher, and is at present touting through New Zealand.
