* * * * *
Of the many classes of business called into requisition by the requirements of mundane existence, that of the Funeral Furnisher demands an interest which it is seldom accorded. This is, however, not the correct position to adopt in what is an eminently practical age, so, at least, we are taught to believe; and, therefore, we should not disdain knowledge on so important a subject.
* * * * *
In the district of Cheshunt no name is more intimately associated with funeral furnishing than that of Mr. A. G. Nicholas, and no house has made a more thorough study of the details of the business so as to entail upon the relatives and friends of the deceased the minimum amount of trouble and discomfort. Over twenty years ago witnessed his initial steps in founding what is now the only business which makes a speciality of this class of work, as the premises recently constructed at 189, Turner’s Hill make sufficiently plain to the passer-by. Commencing business as a joiner, builder, and undertaker at the period mentioned, the marked development of the latter department—as witness the many interments of deceased persons—has induced Mr. Nicholas to give special attention to this branch, which includes cremating and embalming, the erecting of all descriptions of monumental masonry, surveys of property, and transactions in all forms of life and other insurance, agencies being held for many leading companies.
When we consider the opportunity which the undertaker possesses for exercising influence upon persons under great mental strain, it will be seen how essential it is that they should be men who are above suspicion. Happily, however, the morale of the business has greatly improved, which is due in a large measure to the standard of the tradesmen who may be said to be representative of their calling.
Cromwell Cottages, Cheshunt, June 5th, 1891.
Dear Mr. Nicholas.—On behalf of myself and the rest of our family, I wish to thank you for the way in which you conducted the funeral of my mother and brother. I am sure you studied our feelings in every possible way, and we all think the charges very moderate indeed. Again thanking you,—I remain, yours truly,
H. NORRIS.
King’s Road, Doncaster, June 22nd, 1895.
Dear Sir,—P.O.O. for the balance of your account enclosed. Thanking you for the nice quiet way in which the interment was conducted,—Yours faithfully,
H. BEAVAN.
Wimbledon, April 1st, 1904.
Dear Mr. Nicholas,—I feel that I must write to thank you for your great kindness to us in our trouble, and for the kind help you gave to save us bother in every possible way you could. I cannot express to you all I feel about it; but, believe me, my sisters and I will never forget your kindness to us; and if there were just a few more about as ready as yourself to lend a helping hand, the world might be a happier one.—With very kind regards, I am yours sincerely,
EMILY NEALE.
Oxted, May 15th, 1904.
Dear Mr. Nicholas,—I had not an opportunity of seeing you yesterday, to thank you for undertaking the removal of the body of my poor brother, and for the great trouble it must have put you to. I can assure you that you have all our sincere thanks, and we quite appreciate all the difficulties you must have had to contend with. Now he is at rest, we can also rest. You will, I am sure, know how we can and do appreciate this after such an anxious and trying time as last week. We could not do this but for the trouble you must have taken for us.—Yours very truly,
E. A. SWAN.
Leyton, Essex, October 29th, 1904.
Mr. Nicholas. Dear Sir,—I beg to offer my sincere thanks for the trouble you have taken in connection with the interment of my deceased father on the 27th inst., for the nice way in which your arrangements were made and carried out in so quiet and sympathetic a manner that all the mourners thought you had conducted the funeral in such a way that the thanks of the family were justly due to you. I hope you will accept these through me, the son of the late Henry Brewster.
I remain, yours sincerely, C. BREWSTER.
Chiswick, December 31st, 1904.
Dear Mr. Nicholas.—Many thanks for your kindness in effecting the purchase of my late husband’s grave. I must thank you and express my appreciation of the able and reverent manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out, and with kind regards, I remain yours faithfully,
EMMA OLIVER.

The local “Weekly Telegraph,” reporting the funeral of the late Mr. R. T. Gardner, in 1899, who was for twenty-five years rate collector of the Parish of Cheshunt, mentioned the fact that the arrangements were undertaken by Mr. Nicholas, at the request of the deceased, made shortly before his death.
The following has reference to one of Mr. Nicholas’s building transactions:

Do you use Automatic Gas or Oil Lamps?
N.B.—There were 142 Explosions by Oil Lamps in London alone last year, involving loss of life.
An OIL LAMP burns ONE PENNYWORTH OF PARAFFIN OIL in 8 hours, and gives a light equal to only 16 Candles. It is much dearer than a GEM GAS BURNER, which makes ONE PENNYWORTH OF AUTOMATIC GAS last about 12 hours, and gives a light equal to 30 Candles. In fact a Gem Burner is nearly equal to 4 Oil Lamps. That is to say, a Gem Burner will give you about as much light for a Farthing as an Oil Lamp will give for a 1d.
AUTOMATIC GAS costs you nothing for fitting it up. The Gas Company instal it free of all cost. The following fittings are supplied free for your use:—
One Swing Bracket for Hall Light.
One Pendant or Bracket for Sitting Room.
One ,, ,, Kitchen.
One Swing Bracket for Bedroom.
One Boiling Ring and Tube to boil Kettle, etc.
By payment of 5s. for fixing you can have a good Gas Cooker Free of any Rental, or a better one for 10d. a month.
Remember Automatic Gas saves a lot of worry and trouble in the house. Half-an-hour’s more rest instead of getting up earlier to light the fire. The Oil Man need not call. No dust or ashes, and no Dustman to call for them. The Coal Man need not call. No bundles of firewood wanted. You simply put your penny in the slot and the Gasworks does the rest.
