I Your Week
I
s
I Time, a wise man said, is
1 something that can neither be
added to nor subtracted from.
| Yet we can add ten hours
! of leisure to your week with
I our Family Laundry Service.
1 This is not the usual laundry
j service—it is, rather, a special
service that we have developed to
| meet your special washday needs.
| We take your entire wash
ing. We cleanse everything—
1 all without rubbing. By our
method soft water and fluffy
suds bubble through your
I clothing much in the same wa>;
| as they do when you souse
| and rinse your daintier things
in a wash bowl. Then we dry
them, without wringing, in warm
pure air, imparting to them the
| much desired freshness.
| All the flat pieces, like bed
S linen, tablecloths, pillowslips and
f napkins, we iron beautifully—
yoii will enjoy displaying them
to your guests.
The children’s dresses, your
own skirts and shirtwaists, and
such other things as need it,
we starch, ready for you t6 iron.
But the amount of ironing
we leave for you is slight, for
our drying process is Such that
many things, like undergar
ments, can be worn immediate
ly, without ironing.
Then we deliver your pack
age—invitingly clean—deliver
it to you at a definite time each
week. In short, we do ten
hours of the work of washday
for you—we give you ten hours
leisure for less laborious things.
Let us acquaint you better
with this service. The cost of
this modem laundry service is
slight. Telephone‘and we will
have our driver call for your
family bundle.
| We treat your clothing white
