He was bearing diagonally for the great pile of the State Apartments on his left, and had covered about a quarter of the distance when, turning his head to keep watch upon the right as well, he was brought up all standing by the sight that met his eyes; he whirled to face it, pressed himself close to the

An Open Letter to Irvingtonians

and East Siders .. . LT

It is with humble pride we offer you the facilities of Shirley Brothers’ new, expanded Irving Hill Chapel. . =

The beauty and efficiency of Irving Hill is familiar to thousands who have had occasion to visit us. It was your satisfaction with the surroundings and the services fur nished that has made the expansion possible.

We believe the Irving Hill expansion is a tribute to our community, an expression of faith in your continued satisfaction with the basic principles of Shirley Brothers’ way of doing things.

Those of you-who know-us, know that costs have had no bearing on the friendly under-

standing, on the many little courtesies both personal and professional, nor on the beauty of the memorial tribute. We sincerely believe that sorrow cannot—and must not—be measured in dollars.

The restful atmosphere of Irving Hill, the huge increase in space and facilities, the flexibility of room arrangements to take care of your needs properly . . . these are our outward expression of thanks for your faith in us.

We can tell you about details: about the separate music room for each chapel, the central system of summer-winter air conditioning, the beautiful new furnishings, the flexible wall-to-wall folding doors. But Irving Hill's beauty lies not in details, but in a composite whole.

A funeral tribute is a natural human desire to carry the ministrations of love beyond life... and a funeral tribute can have but this one objective: comfort and consolation through soothing and beautiful memories.

AK . ne ~~ We dedicate the new expanded Irving Hill to these principles of service, with humble pride. Humble, because your satisfaction with us has helped create Irving Hill; and proud, because we have been able to build Irving Hill for you.
