PRUDENT COUNSEL
MOS-04 «ND STREET fl. E. IN 1J£NTH
The location of this establishment is an idaal one for funeral purponea. The building ia a concrete structure,
which makes it cool in summer and easily warmed In winter. A very Important feature is that the concrete
structure practically eliminates any likelihood of a Rye in the building. The location ia 2 blocks north of the car
line on 92nd street H. E., which makes it very acceneible but on a quiet street We are one mile from the beauti­
ful Mt. Scott Park Cemetery, and only one mile from Multnomah Cemetery on 82nd street. By virtue of this lo­
cation we are enabled to furnish automobile« for the service at almost one-hail U ms city price«.

TOURING CAR
Thia luxurious Winton-Six Seven Pare* nger car is at t ie service of pa­
trons while we .lie «idling on them. The ear ia u«ed to bring reinlives to
the oilier, to make arrangements or take them to the cein.-teii< s or other
errand« that are nei-. ssnry in completeting funeral arrangement«, thus
eliminatii g th« neceesity of traveling on street cats or walking which is
always m >re or le-s einbarasaing to tho«e in mourning This feature adds
to the policy of privacy which the firm adheres to tlirnnnt the entire ar­
rangements.
It is the policy of thia firm to
seek the real needs of|the be­
reaved family and supply accord_-
ingly. It is not advisable£Ior ¡a
family in moderate or poor cir­
cumstances to engage an elabor-
jaie lunerai. Aa much aagwe may
desire to furnish good funerals,
we make a practice of advising
and counseling such cases to use
goods that are in keepingjwith
their circumstance« and will not
be a burden to pay for.
Our pa­
trons are the once to be satisfied
and we would not deserve their
confidence if we insisted on their
buying something they cannot
afford.
CONFIDENCE
The substantial character ex-
prereed in thia institution eetab-
lialiee the satisfied feeling of con­
fidence in the service rendered
patrons.
CHAPEL
The interior of the eliapel is finished in a silver gray co'or. The furni­
ture is finished to match. It relieves the sombre, gloomy atmosphere at­
tendant on funeral occasions. The chapel ia profusely decorated with
palms, ferns, and other plants of rars foliage. The appointments of the
chapel are ideal for the correct direction of a funeral without the confusion
which often attends a church or residence fui end service.
E .trance may be my de to the chapel either thru the rcepton < ffice
or from the street. About 175 people can be seated in thetbapel
A. D. KENWORTHY
Mr. Kenworthy's experience in this business covers
a period of 14 year«, the first 10 yours living spent in
the employ of two of the largest and mod progressive
firms in Portland, where he learned the value of service
and received a thorn schooling in every phase of the
business. Mr. Kenworthy's personal service assures
patrons of entire satisfaction.
This room adjoins the chap«l and is for the singers. Music from an ad­
jacent room sounds much better and is more appropriate than if given in
the chapel proper. Every convenience is provided for musicians and sig­
nal for music is given by an electric buzzer.

Dignified service is either marred or emphasized by the appearance and
quality of the auto hearse used. This car is the result of the best ma­
terial and workmanship, and commands respect and reverence. The body
is symetrically constructed and mounted on a Winton-Six is-horsepower
chassis. The car is equipped with puncture proof tires which eliminates
a source of great emlmrassment in funerals. Our revolving Hower rack
prevents floral offering from being disfigured and crushed. It is the
only hearse in Portland with this feature.
We hereby extend to all enlisted men who may lose their lives in the service of the nation the offer of the
use of onr entire equipment and comprehensive service absolutely free of all charges whatsoever
