DYENG OF GARMENTS.

phe Public Should Consult With Prae-
teal and Skilled People.
Many people make big mistake in
not consulting with practical people
when they are considering having a
valuable garment dyed The first and
most important is to have the arti-
Gle properly cleaned for If there we're
any grease spots or acids from fruit
not properly removed 1t would mean
the running of the garment. Another
and most important point is that diff
ferent materials have to be treated
in different ways in order to get the
proper results.
In light color clothing the proper
results are easily gotten while in dark
garments it is necessary to dye them
q number of times before one gets the
desired colors. often times the trim
mings are of different materials, in
most all cases they have to be re-
moved and treated differently from
that Of the garment The dyeing bust
ness is a separate and distinct busl-
ness itself and requires years Of study
IN order that one may have thorough
and practical knowledge, this combin-
ed with modern machinery and up-to-
date facilities are the only methods
that viii give you the desired results.
The Wilmington Steam Dye Works,
whose plant is located at 206 West
Foprth street is one of the Oldest and
largest of its kind in the city. For
