The floor and ground arrange ment, almost entirely the Idea of Mr. J. P, Finley, surpasses that of onv other building of its kind. Not oniy has the structure been designed td facilitate the professional work of the company, but the very things company to remain always a step or stride in advance of Its confreres. Wh'le it has always been superior in point of equipment. It is the pride of Mr. Finley, Br., to be able to say that the service rendered by his concern has outdistanced the ma terial advantages it has always en joyed. There are few times In the life ot any man that he calls upon the un dertaker. When he does, as a rule, for the first time, his unfamillarity with that line of business compels him to rely largely upon the honor render the most courteous and kindly treatment In his power, give full value for the money received and go Just A little further than anvone would rare to ask has re sulted in his ability and capability to erect a building of which Port land has a Jtiat right to be proud. Service, first, last and all the time practical service service that can not help but be appreciated and ad mired this is the Finley idea, pure arid simple. Such service wins. The present new structure of the com pany Is ample evidence of it. t
