Decatur, IryL Sept. 1, 1928 Dear Friends: One of Mr. Farr’s trade magazines says that the cleaners and dyers of the United States do $600,000. 000 worth of business every | year. The Deeatur Laundry does only a small part of that amount of course. But I’ll bet there isn’t a cleaning plant in a town the size of Decatur that’does its work any better than the Decatur Laundry. That’s fny personal opinion. If you have a different one, Mr. Farr would like mighty well to know it. BEN ZEEN DECATUR LAUNDRY ‘‘The Farr Way”
