THE HOME LAUNDRY,
Frankling Stevenson. Prop,
II Wentieth Avenue West.

1t is gratifying for the Labor World
to be able to note that this institu-
ton is not only a success in regard
to it's business methods, it's processes
of laundering, and it's extensive pat
ronage, but also that in the Home
Laundry is to be found labor meth
ods unequalled by any in the country.
In passing through the laundry a.
representative of the Labor World,
was made acquainted with tho differ
ent machines used in their respective
ways, with the safety: devices thereto
connected and with the system en-
ployed in handling the employees,
and in conversing with number of
the employees, learning their hours,
and the different occupations which
each one attends, it was indeed pleas
ing to find not one of which was in
any way dissatisfied with their work
or their employer.
Mr.. Stevenson has revolutionized
the. laundry business in the city Of
Duluth. So great a success has his
different new devices, met with, so
great has his patronage become that

The laundry is equipped wiz, three

run, one mangle which takes 200
sheets through, folded and all in 81
minutes: ~
The average laundry washes $50
shirts to a washer in one hours time,
which is too short time as the use
of drugs must be damaging on any
cloth. At the Home Laundry 1 hour
and so minutes are taken thus result
ing in great saving on clothes.
The Home Laundry lays greater
wage to its employees than any other
laundry In the city and their attitude
towards organized labor has always
been friendly and the Labor World
takes great pleasure in recommending
this laundry to anyone wishing quick
