MANY COFFINS MADE.
! To the Editor of The State:
\ A statement in The State of Satur,
day, January 1, as to the number of
' coffins and caskets made in South
[ Carolina, was incorrect, there being
several times as many made in Sumter
alone as were reported in the paper.
Ihere are more coffins made in
South Carolina every year than are
required to bury every person who
. dies in the State and while the State
. liberally patronizes the home facs
tories, it, like every other State, buys
, a great many away from home; the
- company at Sumter having 28 representatives
selling its product in over
32 States, some even being shipped
to Tasmania and other parts of the
world, having recently appointed an
. agency in South Africa.
5 The Sumter enterprise was even
P recently referred to in a body of
, manufacturers in Detroit, Mich., as
the Fords of the coffin industry. Like
1 most everything else, however, it is
[ overdone, which is reflected in the
fact that there are now no more coffin
factories in the United States, being
about 175, than there were in
1900. Since 1900 over 300 factories
have failed and gone out of business.
" A very recent blow to the industry,
especially in South Carolina, was the
~ adoption of prohibition, the death
" rate being materially affected, which
was reflected in the sale of the Suml
ter product in Georgia after prohibition
went into effect, as compared
with the times before. It is a business
than can not be pushed and you
can not wish the owner success, unless
by force of habit.
You will greatly oblige by printing
the above in order to keep the rej
rnrds straight.
