 The Buckmiller firm, though head ed by two of the youngest of the states funeral directors, has been unusually successful, directly at- tributable, no doubt, to the maxi- mum of extended and helpful serv- ice.
 All who have viewed the new Buckmiller funeral home to date, have been almost at a loss for words to describe its beauty and oppor- tunity for service in Naugatuck.

they were primarily construct

assigned to the education OF
