Unseen toes j
of Good Health
lurk all about us—in the air, on
our clothes. We know that ;§
clothes that merely look clean I
may be highly impure. To be |
truly clean, clothes must be ster
ilized. 8
That is but one of the many j-ji I
reasons why our laundry service
should appeal to you. When you
I send them to us your bed linen, |
garments and household things
are more than washed—they are £
purified.
We are able to do this be
cause we change from nine to |
twelve times the waters in |
which we wash your clothes.
Dr. H. G. Ellidge of the Millon Institute of Industrial Re- |
search, who has investigated laundry methods, says: |
11 4 There is absolutely no chance for disease being
spread through a Modern Steam laundry.”
jii: Can you be sure of this
| cleanliness and sterilization
when you intrust your clothes j§
ijj: to unknown persons whose jjji
i:i; methods are dubious—or even >i;
to the home methods?
Once too often you will
| take the chance—and will it %
| have paid you? Safeguard the jii;
| health of your family. Have j|
i your work done under the su
jiji pervision of one who has had |i
|i fifteen years’experience. §j
