WAY DO We
ADVERTISE OUR
UNDERTAKING
DEPARTMENT?

UNUSUAL CONDITIONS require
UNUSUAL TREATMENT. We are
not the originators of this sort of adj
vertising, to prove which, we cal your
attention to clipping from the Chica-
cago News, displayed in our show win
dow The conditions which exist here
at the present time originated in our
larger cities, and are being met by this
same form of publicity, prices being es-
tablished on basis that leaves no mar
gin of profit with which to carry on re-
prehensibIe practices.
PRICES ON UNDERTAKING GOODS
have increased abnormally in the last
5 years. 1t is represented that this
has become necessary because of the
great increase in price charged by the
Manufacturer. This is not true. The
actual fact of the case is that in the
past 5 years the increase on medium
priced caskets is about One Dollar, and
on other grades it is correspondingly
small
When we started in business years
ago we were invited to adopt a SEIZED
ule of greatly inflated prices which it
was desired should be maintained.
These prices were not Unstable under
the existing conditions and we refused,
and placed our prices on the same basis
that had always prevailed in our for
mer business, making no attempt to Sc
cure patronage other than through eff
ficient service, and just treatment of
our patrons. We proposed to abide by
these principles, and should not have
made public announcement of our
prices, had not antagonistic measures
been put in practice to interfere with
our business.
