THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTIn reviewing the various industries and vocations of the city of New York, special and prominent mention should be given the business of furnishing undertaker. In this connection the well known firm of Adair & Aldred should not be overlooked, who were established as far bock as 1849, and since that date have enjoyed a continued prosperity. For thirty years the same eligible location has been occupied as warerooms and offices, and has be- come a landmark of this section of the city, as has their name become a household word. The peculiar calling of the undertaker requires a temperament and disposition possessed by few. To him is entrusted the superintendence of the funeral ceremony and all pertaining to the last sad rites of the dead, and suqcess is only awarded to those who are possessed of sympathetic nature and due regard and respect for their sacred duties. It is needless to remark that the gentlemen whom we have mentioned in this article are endowed with all the functions and traits of character needed in this vocation for the successful prosecution of the profession and to give entire satisfaction to their numerous and appreciative patrons. The individual members of the firm are James Adair and John Aldred, both of whom were born in the State of New Jersey, but have long been residents of New York. Both members act as sextons of the Calvary Church, 21st Street and Fourth Avenue, a position which they have long occupied. In connection with the professional duties of these gentlemen they have at all times a full and complete stock of everything required in case of death. Coffins and caskets of all grades and prices, together with the latest improved apparatuses for preserving and embalming. Carriages are furnished and hearses for adult and infant are to be had of this firm. In fact, no better house or a more respected firm can be found in this city.
