l>id you know that one of the largest and most
modern funeral establishments in the city nf Port­
land is located in the Ml. Scott district?
The firm of A. l>. Kenworthy A Co. is r\v-g-
nmd as one of the most modern and ls*at equipped
in the city. Nothing has been overlooked or left
undone that would add to ttwv solwtantial comfort
and convenience of the Is’rvaved family.
SERVICE
We have perfected plans for service to patrons which enal>l<s<
ua to otter many aide w ith no vxiwusc to them. It is the service
you receive that determines largely your degree of satisfaction with
any firm that should serve you. It is our policy to lighten the bur-
di ns by arranging all the details such as cemetery arrangements,
newspap'r notices, minister, music, conveyances, etc All details
are so completely and carefully arranged, combined with the many
features with which the eelabhsliment is equipped, that we are
enabled to quietly ami smoothly direct a funeral without confusion
or mishap. We anticipate your wants and needs and supply them
accordingly.
OI R SERVICE. DOES NOT END
when the last prayer is finished at the cemetery. We are still at
the service ol patrons in aiding them to arrange lor a photographer,
if one is de-ired. ami in many instances we take entire charge of
preparing and forwarding life insurance papers Our experience in
this enables us to accurately pre)>an- them, which avoids their being
returned for eorns-tion and msvsMtatiug a delay in receiving tin*
lienetits. This service is greatly appreciated by patrons whose em­
ploy uisnt or suburban residence would make it very inconvenient
for them to take the tune to expedite the completion of death proofs
and affidavits that are requited.
THE FUNERAL EXPENSE
Is an item of M'rioua consideration in these stringent limes The
total footing is determined entirely by the desires or neceesilies <>t a
family. The entire expense may be made as small as your condi­
tions neceewcate. or as large as may be deaired. Our caskets are all
marked in plain figures and we have one price to tlie rich and poor
alike. We have never found a family, uo matter how unfortunate,
but that some arrangements could Is* made to can* for them.
None an* too poor to command our services.
5HO2O4 92ND STREET S. E. IN LENTS
The location of this establishment is an i<ieal one for funeral purposes. The building is a concrete structure,
which makes it cool in tbe summer and easily warmed in winter. A very important feature is that the concrete struc­
ture practically eliminates any likelihood of a tire in the building. The location is 2 blocks north of thia car line on
92nd street S. E., which makes it very accessible but on a quiet street. We are one mile from the beautiful Mt. Scott
Park Cemetery, and only one-half mile from Multnomah Cemetery on H2nd street. By virtue of this location we are
enabled to furnish automobiles for the service at almrat one-half the city prices.
FAMILY ROOM
Entrance is gained to this room thru a private hallway which insures absolute
privacy i> relatives. Adjoining this room is another room the same size. They are
comfortably furnished and resemble the parlor of a private home.
CREDIT
Can always be arranged for by
those whose conditions make it
imj>erative.
(XJNFfDENCE
It is the policy of this tiim to
■s ek the real needs oi the liereaved
family and supply accordingly.
It is not advisable fora family in
moderate or poor circumstances
to engage an elaborate funeral
As much as we mav desire to fur­
nish gissi (mo rals, we make a
practice of advising and counsel­
ing such eases to liar goods that
are in keeping with their circum­
stances and will not l*e a burden
to l •ay lor. Our patrons are the
ones to be satisfied ami we would
not deserve tlieir confidence if we
insisted on their buying something
they cannot afford We do not
believe it right to deprive tlie liv­
ing of necessities in order that an
elal>orate funeral may be provided
for the departed one.
The substantial character ex­
pressed in thia institution estab­
lishes the satisfied feeling of conti
dene- in the service rendered
