1.-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

The term DRY Cleaning is often
Many believe Dry
Cleaning" to imply the mere remoVai
of individual spots by local treat
mont. and indeed this belief has been
given birth by the hundreds of press
ing clubs" clothes pressers,' tailor
sbops. etc. whose most valuable asset
is a sign in the front door mis-stating
that DRY Cleaning" is done within.
It may be a surprise to many TO
learn that a thoroughly equipped Dry
Cleaning" plant often removes as
much as a small tea cup full of dirt
and grease from a single suit OF
clothes.
This is absolute insurance against
spots re-appearing and ample assur
ance of your clothes having been thor
oughly disinfected.
Don't risk expensive suits or gar
ments with inexperienced cleaners
do so may result in their ruin.
1t costs no more to send them to "a

ANOTHER FIRE.
knickerbocker Trust Cos. Office
Building, New York, Damaged.


New \ ork, Jan. IA stubborn fire
on the ground floor of the 22-stnry Of
flee building owned by the knicker-
booker Trust Co, at the corner OF
Broadway and Exchange place. gave
the financial district some moments of
trepidation early today. The blaZe
was within a few hundred feet of the
Stock Exchange, but was got under
control before it could spread beyond
the building whore it started. The loss
will not exceed $4,000. The blaze start
ed in the cutting rooms of a tailoring
and furnishing goods firm which has q
store ct the rear corner of the build
ing Just behind the vaults of the trust
company. By the time the firemen ar
rived the flames had wormed their
wa beneath these vaults. and for a
time TIE situation looked serious. But
the Kniekerboeker COS. building is a
more modern structure than was the
Equitable building, and the steel
walls and concrete floors held the fire
until a food of water and chemicals
gradually gained the mastery. The
damage was confined to the store,
where the fire started.
