MEMORIALS THAT ARE EN-.
DURING HEIRLOOMS.

In the past only the Very wealthy
could have great memorials OF depart
ed ones. 1t remained for ono mans
combined with the power Of
the press. to provide memorials OF an
enduring kind that would express the
deepest feeling and become hcirlooms
IN q family; this. too. without sugges-
zion. OF a lavish display of money.
The idea is simplicity itself. On
the demise Of any person the fact is
published in the newspapers. No one
except those whose busine SIS is to read
newspapers by the hundreds know the
extent to which these items are print
ed and copied. Very often they ap-.
pear in dozens OF papers, and friends
and relatives never see 10 tenth of what
is printed. Frank -. Burrelle who is
tho active head OF n big Nav York
corporation, conceived the idea OF
gathering everything printed and
mounting the items in albums, hand hand
SO mely. and appropriately bound. Sub
stantinl memorials ore thus had that
appeal to the finest taste.
Another feature OF the idea is 20
incorporate withs5tlle notices all lot
ters. tells grams, cards OF cond olence
resolutions, nh togrnphs old letters
Hin fact, every thing that Is connected
with the one to be remembered.
