Integrity
Is never a happenstance. It
is built soundly as a result
of high intention to achieve'
the ideal of perfection.
Thus the Integrity of any
organisation is a sound
yardstick for its selection,
particularly In time of
need. This character ot
Perl's is expressed not only
by reliability and the exe.
.ration of the f a m i 1 y's
wishes but also in many
extra services for which
there is no additional
charge.
Services measured not by
