These devices are part OF the equip

plant and the usefulness OF many valuable
articles Of wearing apparel and household
furnishings would be prolonged IL such ar
ticles were sent to thoroughly reliable

Stains on some fabrics partake OF the

Public Ignorant of Care.

DRY cleaning" in its true sense, means,
first the elimination of every speck of

| some volatile liquid that has the necessary
! detergent powers without affecting the
| shape color or sizing of the garment; third,
! the elimination of all obnoxious odors and
! the removal OF all spots or stains not
effected by the second treatment and, last
but by no means the least important the
expert finishing OF the garment.

cesses must needs be successfully consul

testimony to the almost universal ignor-
ance with which these dangerous liquids
are handled without the proper equipment
and safeguard.
These liquids give rise to dangerous va
pors that are not only injurious to the
respiratory organs, but. being heavier than

and may travel good distance and en-
counter cookstove fire or other open
flame with the result of ignition and likely

not familiar with their handling and with
out the proper equipment for their use.
Wouldn't it interest you to know just
how your clothes are handled when you
send them to be cleaned? AS a matter of
fact you do know that they come in con-
tact with the clothes of many different
kinds of people but the really vital detail
is that they should be handled under

The term dry cleaning" Is often mlscon-
strued. Many believe dry cleaning" to
imply the mere removal Of individual spots

has been given birth by the hundreds Of
pressing clubs" clothes pressers," tailor
shops. etc, whose most valuable asset is q

that a thoroughly equipped dry cleaning"

DRY CLEANING EXPLAINED
Figures Show Omaha Has Great
Cleaning Industry.
POPULAR IDEA OF WORK BAD
'ubIic Thinks cleaning work simple
Process, whereas Good Cleaners
Have Elaborate Equipment
Dangers Ia Ola Methods.

Omaha holds place to the forefront Of
American cities In respect to It's dry clean
ing establishments as well as In the other
Industries. There Is y2JJ,OJO invested in the
dry cleaning business here $50 persons are
employed In 1t and about &lyyU UUJ worth Of
work is done every year. Probably no other
city In the country of a like size compares
with Omaha In It's my cleaning Iuu IsJry.
The term dry cleaning" does not appear
to be easily understood by the ldymtu. He
does not understand how process, which

For number OF years there was little
advancement IN the ant OF ury cleaning
until about 1870, when IL was introduced
into both England and Germany and the
process was there known as French dry
cleaning. During the eighties a few dry
cleaning plants were established in this
country, but the cleaning business
amounted TO very little until the nineties,
when dry cleaning establishments began to
spring up all over the country. Today
the business is recognized as a thoroughly
established industry as well as growing
one. Every city has a number Of expen-
sive plants. completely equipped with labor
saving quality improving machinery. Men
Of business ability and integrity are EN-
barking in the business, manufacturers are
turning their attention to the perfectng
and marketing Of appliances and fortunes
are being invested in it. The natural re-
suit Of all this is that the quality of work
has been wonderfully improved, the public
confidence gained and the volume of bust
ness greatly multiplied
Dirt Held by Grease.
The theory of cleaning with volatile
solvents is based on the fact that the
great majority OF dirt and soilage of gar
ments is adhered to the fabric by means
of some fatty or greasy substance. The
action of the solvent Is to dissolve this
dirt-carrying vehicle thereby liberating the
dirts and leaving the fabric pure and clean.
Articles immersed In the liquids usually
employed in dry cleaning" process are not
'wetted' In the ordinary acceptance Of
the term; an elaborately-trlmmed gown

The general public is more familiar with
the Interpretation OF dry cleaning as II
Is called and practiced by those irrespons-
bic and incompetent persons usually con-
Quoting small shops, whose most important
equipment Is a sign over the front door,
making the assertion that dry cleaning
Is done within. The method usually pur-
sued by these suit pressers" is that Of
removing a spot here and q spot there with
the aid Of little gasoline and sponge OF

face only. which soon reappear when worn.
However thorough dry cleaning Is not
