On and after April l5tn, 1901, we
will collect cash for every package of
laundry delivered. We mean no re-
Election on our customers, but are
compelled to do this owing to the
time and trouble it takes TO collect
so many small bills. As an induce
ment to our customers We will sell
them coupon books at 5 per cent dis
count. They will be of different de-
nominations, from Sl.o0 to $500.
We hope that our customers will see
this matter in the same light that we
do and not be offended when cash is
asked for their package.
