How To
Economize
On Laundry
Persons who attempt to economise by securing a ,
cheap laundryman are Invariably mulcted for a large
clothing outlay.
The cheap workman, with unskilled hands and an-
clent machinery, Is usually able to remove the dirt,
but the clothing Is almost annihilated In doing so. Ha
breaks the collars and the buttonholes become frayed; .
the shirts are torn; the hole In the hose la Increased; v
often white laundry Is mUed fer washing with colored
goods, and Is returned streaked with faded eolora and
seldom Is It that the washing does not result In eapen
slve clothing textures becoming ruined by a few wash
Ings. Employees here are skillful ones experienced In
the class of work they do. The machinery le modern,
and cleanses the clothing w thout destroying It Collar
and shirt front recelvs a perfect pollh, that th mot
critical admire! And all the clothing receive a ear
and attention that Is readily apparent All Ordinary
mending Is done free of charge.
Send us your laundry and you will soon learn that
work done by us Is more economical and our work I
decidedly superior to that of other.
