vested in new equipment. including five or six beautiful wagons These wagons. by the way, are attracting much atten- tion by reason of their beauty. They ar< black with the swan trade mark painted In white and gold. Captain Mcdonald, be- lieving in home industries, had the wag- ons made in Birmingham. Abel, the wagon and carriage manufacturer, receiv- ing the contract No other city could have turned out more elegant work.
 A visit to the White Swan proves ex- ceedingly interesting. for there one finds a laundry in operation which is model in every respect One will surely marvel at the ingenuity of the mechanical de- vices seen there in the washers, wringers and ironers. The wringing is done by the centrifugal process This application of science Is of the greatest economy, for 1t wrings out the water without any wear and tear on the linen.
 The bleaching at the White Swan Is cs- pecially fine, and when the collars, cuffs and shirts, table cloths and napkins and other goods come from this establishment they are immaculate. Particularly no- ticeable. too, Is the beautiful domestic finish which Is given to collars and cuffs
 In addition to the old fans used for the comfort of the employees, great exhaust fan has just been installed.
 No more perfectly. appointed laundry plant will be found in the South than the White Swan. It has a capacity of $500 a week. Its trade is increasing steadily and 1t Is only a question of time when the plant will have to be enlarged. It's clientage includes scores of the most prominent families of Birmingham It has also large out of town trade, agents sending In linen every week from thirty five or forty points. Families find much economy and no end of satisfaction in patronizing the White Swan. discount of 20 per cent is made in the family wash list when the bill amounts to as much as 8.
 MT Stafford was formerly dry goods merchant in Atlanta. He came here two years ago and established the White Swan He is a lhustling business man and his agreeable manners and obliging disposition have won for him a host of friends. Mcdonald, with his large per- sonal following, and Stafford, with his experience in desk work, to say nothing of his general popularity, certainly make a strong team. sss
