So what does the catalog say about them?  "Our cold storage will keep
Grandma colder than the competition?" I suppose if there are such things
somebody has to sell them, I don't think Westinghouse or Fridgidaire has
them in the local showroom.  Now there's a job for some enterprising soul,
human cold storage unit salesman.  Wonder what the party is like for
salesman of the year?  Ruth

Not only do the mortuaries have them, but Sweet's Catalogue has the ads for
them.  You could look it up.

Sweet's, Ruth, is a huge set of books (huger before they were all put onto
CD's) that contain literature from manufacturers of all sorts of building
components-- including autopsy room equipment, concrete blocks, brass
handrails, doors, etc.  The favorite in Architecture School was to look at
the sauna brochures-- ornamental young ladies in small (or no) towels
showing one how saunas (or shower stalls, bathtubs, etc) related to the
human form.
