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 q 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 as
carefully looked after as If it were
in.the hands of his wife. That's the
kind of a 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
NAV be. First YOU should see

OF Lyndonville has recently returned
from New York, where he had been to
visit the national commander, to consult
with him as to the propriety of the de-
partment encampment holding its next
session in Montreal, the post in that city
having rendered an invitation. The
national commander saw no impro.
priety in going there, so it is probable
that the next encampment will be held
there in June. The post there is under
the Jurisdiction OF the Vermont depart
ment, and another one has recently been
mustered in at Quebec.
II the encampment is held there the
railroads will make low rates. The
gathering will be of great interest as the
Grand Army will get rousing reception
from the citizens of Montreal.
