If February this year had 29
days. Mr. and Mra. E. P. Crabtree
could celebrate their wedding an-
niversary. But an this is not Leap
Year, and February only has 28t
days, they are wondering if they
will get to celebrate. The fact that
they [have been married almost 61
years but have only celebrated 15
wedding anniversaries does not
worry them much. Their Ions
happy married.life together is what
really counts and makes life worth
living. They were married on
Feb. 29 Leap Year of 1876. They
have lived in Palo Pinto county
since and are beloved pioneers
and effectionately called Grandpa
and Grandma Crabtree by their
many friends. He is 85 and a na-
live of Alabama. She is 78 and a
native of Arkanas.

TO INVEST a serene and immaculate beauty in our
every act, tempering each kindly deed with solemn

To hold ever inviolate the cherished integrity of our
long established reputation; to deal fairly and ethically
always. To serve all creeds with sacred respect, turn
no one away, to offer our complete service to every
one. To provide always the finest and most truly
beautiful tribute at the smallest possible expense, utiliz-
ing our larger patronage to make individual costs low-
•
er and well within the means of every family. These
tenets form our unswerving code—serene beauty, ulti*
mate completeness, honest integrity, service to all, and
thoughtful economy. This is our creed.
