Four Score and Seven Years Ago ..,
IMMORTAL words by a man whose deeds and accomplishments are forever
etched in the Halit of Time an immortal, whose name will live foreverl
His ideals are the ideate of Chambers!
In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln said:
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to
finish the work we are in . . . to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan ..."
Yes, to "care for him who shall have borne the battle of life, and for his widow and orphans," that has been the ideal and
the principle that has become the guiding star of The Greater Chambers Co.
A Lincoln Ideal That is Maintained
by CHAMBERS Today . . . I
The people of Washington have responded to our policy—by making
The Greater Chambers Co. one of the largest undertakers in the world.
And this response has made it possible for us to offer you the finest ser
vice and equipment. And yet, Chambers' prices are within the reach
of all. Whether a family has $75 to spend for a funeral or $500, they
can come to Chambers with the confidence and the knowledge, that
here they will be given the full resources of one of the largest under
takers in the world.
The Man Whose Father Buried Abraham I
Lincoln is Still With CHAMBERS!

We Believe It is Our Public Duty to ■ ■ .
ADVERTISE TRUTH-Not Hide It!
The people of Washington want to know the true facts about funeral services. Therefore, we always state our prices plainly.
We tell you what a complete funeral includes, such as cars, hearses, use of chapels and parlors, paper notices and the many
personal services—In fact, over 60 items of service. We feel it is only fair to give complete information and not blanket the
facts. The reason we are the largest undertakers in Washington is because we live up to our claims.
All Chambers' cars, hearses, ambulances and funeral equipment are the very last word.
We are always glad to have the opportunity to come and talk about the funeral needs of a family without in any way making
the bereaved feel obligated to us. We feel that, as one of the largest undertakers in the world, it is our duty to come and
give you aid when you want it. Simply call us—and we'll come and give you ‘the benefit of our many years' experience.
HOW WE DO IT
Chambers conducts the greatest number of funerals per population than any undertaker in the world, and is "one of the
largest undertakers in the world." Naturally we are enabled to buy our merchandise in carload lots. This saving we pass
on to our patrons in our lower prices.
