VIII Install Steam Laundry.

Ray w. Willis, has leased from
the Bank of Hammond the building
which was a few years ago used as
q steam laundry, and has placed or
ders for new and improved machin-
cry to replace that now in the build
ing, and as soon as this arrives he
will install it and operate a modern
laundry plant. An up-to-date dry
pressing and cleaning establishment
will be run in connection. This is a
good field for an establishment of
this kind, as there is now no steam
laundry on the line of the Illinois
Central Railroad between McComb
City and New Orleans.
