Tombstone Tuesday: Advertising on tombstones from a grieving wife

In a cemetery near Paris, in France, a small lamp was at one time kept burning under an urn over a grave, and the following inscription was on the stone:

Here lies Fournier (Pierre Victor),
Inventor of ‘Everlasting Lamps,
‘ Which burn only one centime’s worth of oil in an hour.
He Was A Good Father, Son, And Husband.
His Inconsolable Widow Continues his business at No. 10 Rue aux Trois;
Goods sent to all parts of the city. N. B.
Do not mistake the opposite shop for this. S. V. P. R. I. P.
