V» A S M NAS IDEAL FUNERAL PARLOR GIVING PATROjfiMATCHLESS SERVICE A R L S O N a S O N — Charles W ., Sr., and Charles Raoul, the son— Funeral Directors and Embalm- ers, Astoria, have attained a remarkable success in their splendid new establishment on Franklin street, between llt h and 12th, in their first half-year o f business, which started last January. E N U I N E S Y M P A T H Y with the sorrow-striclftn— the K G heartfelt kindness which is the greatest good— to gether with supreme professional skill in the art o f em balming and the delicate business o f directing funerals— this is tde simple secret o f their success. The Karlsons, father and son,»are known to nearly every°ne *n Clatsop County as American citizens o f sterling character, leading blameless and useful lives. A O U L K A R L S O N has been in the undertaking busi- R ness eight years in Astoria, and his father six years. * During this time they were associated with another under taker. Having hosts o f personal friends, they decided six months ago to establish a permanent house owned and man aged exclusively by themselves. Generous patronage has more than justified the soundness of their judgment. IV I N G their patrons the benefit o f a 25 to 40 per cent G saving on caskets, bought at wholesale prices and kept on display for purposes o f comparison, and being content with fa ir prices for all services, the firm’s increasing busi ness is multiplying profits and their future looks roseate, indeed. • • • • • The exterior o f the home-like building— and it really is a home— is painted in cream and gray. The, garage is lo cated at the rear, and a spacious driveway leads to the street. The equipment Includes a Packard hearse o f the latest type. Convenience and comfort were the aims o f the own- - ere in remodelling the building for undertaking purposes. The Preparation Room in the basement contains the latest scientific appliances for embalming. It gives no sugges tion o f a morgue. A fter preparation, the body is lifted upon an elevator to the Slumber Room. The Casket Dis play Room is nearby, where the selection may be made quickly and with privacy. The Chapel is a commodious and beautiful hall, furnished with mulberry draperies and hangings and fine lace curtains, an expensive and luxurious Toupe carpet, Vienna chairs and cheerful decorations. There are no dull or dreary colors or suggestions o f gloom. The place gives an unusual impression o f warmth and good cheer. The eyes o f the mourners on sad occasions rest upon an inspirational masterpiece, “Crossing the Bar.” Seats are provided for 125 persons. . The Music Room is opposite, opening into the Chapel, improving the effect o f the musical program at funerals. The audience hears perfectly without observing the mu sicians. Adjoining, with a full view o f the Chapel, is a private Family Room, where the bereaved ones can see and hear everything without being observed by the audience. Thfo room is furnished luxuriously, with every convenience and comfort. The embarrassment o f having to ask fo r things, too common in funeral parlors, is eliminated. Everything needful is at hand. Charles W . Karlson, Sr., is widely known in Western Washington. He is an eminent Mason and a member of various Protestant societies. He is one o f Astoria’s most progressive citizens. Charles Raoul Karlson, one Of the most popular young men in Clatsop County, was born in Astoria November 16, 1897. He was educated in the public schools, o f which his father always has been an ardent champion, and then re ceived a%horough business education. He married Muriel Cullen at Portland, Ore., January 28, 1919, shortly after his return from a year’s heroic service as a soldier with the American A rm y in France. Mr. and Mrs. Karlson have one child. Garth W ayne Karlson, born A p ril 25, 1920. Mr. Karlson is a member o f the Benevolent and Protective O r der o f Elks, the Modern Woodmen o f America, the United Finnish Kaleva Brothers and Sisters (U . F. K. B. S .), and other Protestant and civic societies. The economies effected by their services, the unexcelled skill o f their work, and above all, the sympathetic kind ness and helpfulness which are above price on occasions of sorrow, have given this fine undertaking establishment a distinctive reputation, assuring its permanency and steady prosperity.
