We Proudly Present Our New COLONIAL FUNERAL HOME . . . at . . . Six-Sixty West Flagler Street
Colonial architecture is a mark of distinction, and a new note of refinement for a Funeral Home. Varying from the elegance of the city mansion to the prim restraint of the country cottage, each house of this period, whether in town or country, is characterized by refinement of proportion and conventionality of architectural detail. Its Colonial columns, its green shutters and dormer windows, its formal, symmetrical spacing with emphasis upon the portal, and its beautifully proportioned door with fan and side lights, are a few of the details that you will note in entering our NEW COLONIAL HOME. It is different: it reminds one of those elegant Southern Colonial Mansions with its phalanx of tall Grecian columns. It is truly outstanding for its elegance and refinement of proportion. It further exemplifies the dignity and carefully planned manner that the PHILBRICK ORGANIZATION exercises for the comfort of our clientele. To meet the financial necessities of any family, no matter how limited the amount might be. The Philbrick Organization and personnel are worthy of your recommendation. Phone 3-6363 We respectfully quote the following from the writings of Gladstone: "Show me the manner in which a nation or community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals." "The cost is a matter of your own desire" Philbrick SERVING MIAMI MIAMI BEACH and CORAL GABLES
