The BIG LIN firm was established in 1885 by the late Mr. O. F. j Biglin when the community of O’Neill was in its infancy. When he died two of his sons, Mr. William J. and Mr. Frank J., together guided and expanded the firm which came to be known as BIGLIN BROTHERS. "Bill” died in February, 1950, and Frank died in July, 1953. BECAUSE of the tradition in these 68 years and because of a sense of loyalty and gratitude to this good community (a feeling which is shared by every member of the Biglin family), we find it difficult to make this announcement. Yet, in turning over the firm to the new owners, Mr. R. G. Clinkscales and Mr. George Hammond, we are sure you’ll find the BIGLIN successors very high type gentlemen who already are a real credit to their profession and who will be assets to the com munity in their business partnership. WE FEEL it is understandable why we have elected to terminate the family operation of the firm and that you will understand. You never will know, however, how grateful the Biglin family has been to this community and how we cherish the honor that has been bestowed upon our firm by hundreds of families. We are pleased that Mr. Clinkscales and Mr. Hammond have asked that the firm, now in new hands, embark upon the future with the BIGLIN name. -MRS. WILLIAM J. BIGLIN —MRS. FRANK BIGLIN ANNOUNCEMENT WE ARE pleased to announce the formation of a part nership that will endeavor to fulfill the BIGLIN BROTHERS responsibilities in this community. We are mindful of the very fine tradition and we will strive ever to be worthy of our place in community life. Insofar as is humanly possible, we will pursue the same policies of the BIGLINS including the same staff, funeral di recting and furniture sales. MR. CLINKSCALES is not new to the community, hav ing been in the employ of the late Biglin Brothers during the early periods of their respective illnesses. Mr. Hammond is a lifelong resident and an employee of Big lin Brothers for the past V/i years. OUR OWNERSHIP became effective Sunday, Novem ber I. The business office and records always will be available to persons wishing to make settlements of ac counts with the Biglin family. —ROBERT G.
