Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 August 1900 — Manufacture of Mummies. [ARTICLE]

Manufacture of Mummies.

Several enterprising French citizens are now extensively engaged in the manufacture of mummies, which they are shipping to all parts of the civilized world. They closely resemble the genuine dried up cadavers they are represented to be, but It is not likely that first-class antiquarians will be caught napping and accept them as descendants of the kings, nobles and citizens generally of the ancient lands the mummy merchants represent them to be.
