PROGRESS * the Soft-Water Laundry RI ley 7373

In the LAUNDRY industry; the upturn in business is marked: This applies to the Progress in Indianapolis; Leading laundries in other cities also report improvement; Millions of thrifty Housewives have learned that wash-day at home is a sorry and uncertain way of saving money —THEY DON’T LIKE IT! They’re coming back to the modern laundry enthusiastically. The result is increased employment for great numbers of the very people who most need it. Home washing' never enabled anyone to save much—but it worked a severe hardship on the laundry workers. Some of them are already back at work—the public can put many more back to work—NOW—by sending the washing to a modem laundry.

The Mill Process on BLANKETS First of all—WE RECOMMEND laundering for blankets, especially wool blankets, in preference to any other method (even though we have a complete dry cleaning plant). It is, in our opinion, BETTER—and less expensive. It’s the way they do it AT THE BLANKET MILLS. We have made a thorough investigation of the blanket mill method installed the same equipment blanket mills use —and we do it the blanket mill way. The result is: Fleecy, fluffy, NEW-LIKE blankets—and —very important NO SHRINKAGE we guarantee it. Then we return your blankets sealed in cedarized moth-proof bags. The cost is low.
