The Steam
Laundry

is a good deal different from the
laundry of ten or five or even two
years ago. Methods that used to
be the best in use are now discarded
and the consequence is that new
and improved machinery has done
away very largely with the wear
and tear of clothes, the cracking
and blistering of linen and other
familiar annoyances. The modern
laundry is place where linen is
treated as linen; where the utmost
care is taken in every detail of its
treatment, and where the patron is
assured that his work will be az
carefully looked after as if it were
in'the hands of his wife. That's the
kind of laundry we are running,
and we would call your attention to
some of the improved machinery
we have been adding to our plant,
making us more confident than ever
that We can do your work to your
taste. no matter how particular you
may be. First you should see
