For awhile on Tuesdays, I will providing some old time advertisements. A.K. Philbrook came to Susanville in 1900 and became a partner with T.A. Oakes in the furniture making business. As was customary in the day, furniture makers also made coffins and had the sideline job of undertaker. In time, Philbrook became a full time mortuary director. He remained in that capacity until his death in 1936.
