does all he can to make our journey
 through this world pleasant And what
 more can we ask of friend?" The dog shares equally with the horse in being mans most faithful friend, but supercedes him in respect to intimacy ir that he is practically a member of his
 owners immediate family This being the case, a degree of affection is be- slowed that cannot be enjoyed by any
 animal; and when sickness overtakes him, no expense is denied in the effort to restore him to health and much sor- row prevails when such a friend and pet dies. And why should this ever watchful animal not have a last rest where nothing can disturb it?
 To accomplish this end the Hartsdale Canine Cemetery Co.,, Inc, purchased hve acres of beautiful sloping land al IIartsdale, N. Y.,. some 30 miles out ot New York city, plotted it , off in grave space for pet animals and now it is one i, of the most unique and pretty spots to be found. The company's offices are at 12( West Twenty-fifth street, New York city.
 Unless interment is conducted by an un- dertaker all animals to be. buried must be first sent to the New York office foi boxing. They are then transferred by ex- press to the cemetery for interment. Own- CTS may make arrangements at the New York office when desirous of Witnessins burials
 This is the only incorporated cemetery eXcluslvely for the burial of pet animals and among it's plot owners may be found
 many of the most prominent and influ- ential people of the country, and it is earnestly recommended for the consider alton of owners of domestic animals who desire a proper disposition of their de ceased pets.
 
 Prior to interment arrangements must De made at the office of the corporation Previous to 1896 the disposition of de- ceased pets was a disturbing question To those who had property in which burial was possible, the problem of marking and caring for the place, and that later 1t would be disturbed when property own
 CTS would change, was most perplexing while to others, living within the built
 up sections of the city, there was no all teratlve put to pass over the body to
 the city authorities to dispose of as they saw fit-usually in manner not commen-
 surate with the faithfulness of the dog
 or the loving esteem in which he was held by his owner
 It was to overcome these obstacles in
 the desires of dog owners that the pro-
 1ect of canine cemetery was conceived
 ana Tn selecting a location many things
 had to be taken into consideration. First, location; that it must be located
 outside of the city limits, but near to it;
 on an open thoroughfare, and easily and
 quickly reached by road or railroad. This
 was accomplished at Hartsdale, West chester county, New York, and is situ- ated on the side of hill with gradual
 slope. and overlooking miles of the sur rounding country Shade trees and shrub
 bery abound to create most picturesque spot for it's purposed intention
 Second, size; at present five acres
 Third. accessibility; the cemetery fronts on Central avenue, the main automobile
 thoroughfare from New York city The railroad station at Hartsdale, on the Harlem division of the New York Gen. tral railroad, is only five minutes ride from the cemetery. and but 30 minutes from New York city.
 The Hartsdale Canine cemetery, estab- lished in 1896, is the pioneer in the field for providing permanent resting place for deceased household pets. There was DO doubt from the beginning that the pro- ject would meet with approval, but it was hardly to be expected that the en-
