DuPont recognizes Stanley Steemer

Stanley Steemer, the real carpet professional company, has been selected by DuPont as its authorized warranty service company for DuPont Stainmaster carpet. The implication of such a recommendation is hard to miss — Stanley Steemer is able to do the super job for all customers, large company or individual home. Dupont makes Stainmaster fiber, which is used in the manufacture of many brands of carpet. Allen Hayes and Jack Schambaugh, Leesburg Stanley Steemer carpet cleaning technicians, have completed Stanley Steemer’s school in Dalton, Ga., and are certified as senior claims inspectors in cases involving Stainmaster warranties. At the school they studied fibers and learned what they are and how they are made. To area carpet owners this means that the best cleaning knowledge available is at Stanley Steemer in Leesburg. Al and Norma Hayes opened their business in June, 1979. They are now centrally located in downtown Leesburg after having started the business in their home. Jack Schambaugh is manager of the local Stanley Steemer company which includes ♦he franchises for Nappanee and Goshen as

Leesburg is a growing town

Those who travel North of Warsaw on SR 15 may want to make a mental note that - Leesburg, the town midway between Warsaw and Milford, is beginning to show signs of increasing growth. Larry Polk, Polk and Sons, has a large building under construction on SR 15 at the south edge of Leesburg. It will house the new farm equipment sales and service operation he will open in the spring, having sold the farm equipment salvage business he had operated just to the south of his new location. This move makes a silent statement by the Polk family that they believe Leesburg will continue to grow and its citizens and the area farming community will continue to prosper. Leesburg is considered by area residents to be the “Gateway To the Lakes,” a phrase developed by the local business and merchant organization to remind people of the broader view of Leesburg’s place in Kosciusko County. Some who are not aware of the geography of Kosciusko County may think this a grand statement for a town with no lake within its corporate limits. However, they need only drive a few miles east to come to Lake Tippecanoe, which is one of the prime residential areas in the county.

well as Kosciusko County. In addition to Normr and Al, other employees include Joel Kerchenfaut, Jim Hayes and Chad Van Kirk. Tbe office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Norma said they have a business line in their t ome and do answer for business purposes After normal hours. This company believes strongly in good training. They hold weekly training sessions which include videos produced by the studio of Stanley Steemer International (SSI). Stanley Steemer began as a company in 1947 and is now almost nationwide. The same good quality professional cleaning standards are used in all their franchise locations. The effective cleaning process injects steam and extra powerful safe cleaning ag in ts deep into the carpet fibers. Then a powerful suction quickly removes the dirt and cleaning liquid, getting the carpet its cleanest while allowing for minimum drying time. According to Al and Norma Hayes, “When area r esidents and companies hire Stanley Steemer to clean their carpets, they have hired the whole company.”

J.W. ieierman, assistant vice president and braneh manager of the Leesburg Bank Office cf First National Bank of Warsaw, pointed out that the Leesburg telephone exchange Teaches a long way on the north and south rides of Tippecanoe Lake and Leesburg postal routes reach as far east as SR 13. ‘ The lakes and lake residents are a big part of our community, as are our farming and manufacturing communities.” said Heiermrn. “Leesburg has real potential of growth in the near future.” A population growth chart presented at the fall economic briefing put on by Lake City Rank of Warsaw and Indiana University at South Bend bears out Heierman’s comment. The chart projects Plain Township, with Leesburg at its center, as having the largest percentage of population growth in Kosciusko County, 85.9 percent, by the year 2020. It is followed by Tippecanoe Township (North Webster) with 66.7 percent and Turkey Creek Township (Syracuse) with 56.4 percent increase in population. Heiennan said that as the population in* creases, it follows that Leesburg area residents ivill look for services of local merchants and thus new merchants may choose tocome:in. i Continued on page 3)
