A complete outfit of modern laun-
dry machinery has been ordered for
the cooperative laundry and inside
OF two weeks will be on the ground
and placed in position. Ample funds
for the project have been raised and
soon the whir of machinery will take
the place of the rub-rub-rub of the

turing firm met with the promoters
of the coop this week, and when he

outfit packed away in his order book

and will be ready for the machinery
when it arrives. The addition will
extend as far back as the alley and
will be a great help as the present
quarters barely accommodate the en-
ployes in the great amount # work
they have to turn out.

and the old laundries will be fought
