This Company makes a more efficient and reliable executor than a private individual. A private executor has the cares of his own business affairs and can give but little of his time to the duties imposed upon him by your Will. Can you expect a private executor to neglect his own busines for the small fee he gets from the estate? On the death of a private executor his successor is appointed by the court an act not contemplated fay you. This Company has continuity of existence which renders change of executors unnecessary and Impossible. The Court does not allow the Company a higher rate of commission than he would allow to a private executor.

The extensive and varied experience of the Company enables it to liquidate an estate with dispatch and at the minimum cost the estate. Neal's Correct Millinery.
