Steam Laundry Does First
Class Work as Cheap as
is Done Anywhere

In last Saturdays Memphis Scim-
itar there appeared an article stating
that six of the largest lundry plants
of that city had agreed upon scale
of prices which is from 80 to so DER
cent cheaper for laundry work done
in any other city of the United
States. 1t is all right for Memphis
to blow her own horn as loud as she
pl eases, but when the sound will not
harmonize with the scale, some city
is going to object.
The travelling public who stop at
the Hotel Cowan and have their
laundry done up by the Valley Steam
Laundry, Of this city, say that the
work is equal in workmanship to that
done in any laundry in Memphis or
elsewhere, and by reference to its
laundry slips as far back rs two years
it will be seen that the Valley Laun-
dry has been doing work as cheap as
is now done In Memphis, and over
which the Scimitar made such .
crow. The citizens Of the city shonld
not be caught by slick talk for on ex-
they will find that they
can buy at home most any want for
the same or less price than by order
ing away.
