NOTICE Si Tc the people of Sherman cotta ty; We extend our grateful thanks for the good will and* support we have had in the past twenty years. We frankly say we would not have' been able to sup port our family and continue in business without this support. We have given our best efforts to make the service rendered satis factory and acceptable. We have done our best to please. Such mis takes as we have made we have tried not to repeat. Inasmuch as Sherman county people do, in most cases of death, call funeral directors at The Dalles they are interested in conditions that affect the profession there. Recently we printed and caused to be mailed to a limited number in this county a little paper en titled, “Who directs your V’b te?’' wherein was printed a copy of the laws governing undertakers and the conduct of hospitals, doctors, cc»onors, and funeral directors. When these laws are understood it becomes quite evident that jus tice is oft times circumvented. This comes from a lack of know ledge of the rights and privileges of the relatives of the deceased on one hand and efforts of doctors and hospital management and funeral directors to control on the other. This practice is not confined to The Dalles alone but is prevelant there. A reading of the funeral notices as printed in the . papers will show that one directors’ name predominates. This seeming pop- u^rity is not so marked when one considers the vote given Franklin Bird in the May primaries and Zell in the November election. This vote is evidence that there is a l ° spec table number of friends of the independent funeral parlors in Wasco county and hope a like number in Sherman county. This fact should be evidence to the communities that there is un fairness arising from subsequent dfftth. We have in our possession sworn affidavits made by responsi ble citizens » a result of their ex perience that show how the scheme is worked. There are certain citi zens of Sherman county who have had experiences and we will appre ciate their endorsment. If you have a copy of our above mentioned paper (we will send you one) you will note on page 3. what the law says aibout “cap pers,” “steerers” or solicitors as well as the payment of bonuses or commissions or rebates or employ ing on part time or full time those by whose influence human bodies li ty be turned over to any partic ular undertaker or embalmer. May we ask you to remember these citations so you may sec that you are accorded the oppor tunity to select, in case of death, the funeral director of your choic?. Always remember that a relative of a deceased person has the right of choice. If another undertaker is called you may call an undertaker of your choice who will claim the? bocy for you regardless of where it is at *he time. This started 12 years ago in Wasco county as a result of our* cutting the coronors budget where in doctors had enjoyed excessive expense accounts and from the fact that, when coronor, we con formed to the law regarding writ ten consent in case of autopsies. We are therefore blacklisted in certain groups as well as are oth er funeral directors. Disfavor may be fostered by such opposition more efficiently than by failure of merited service on the part of the irdividual funeral director. May we suggest that the people of Sherman county are interest ed in suppression of competition in the funeral business as it is a fact that a corner on any business breeds high costs and limited ser vice.
