and light as day until the sun sinks
far below the horizon. And there will
be no fumes there as large fan is
installed in the basement to carry
them all of through flue that ex-
tends to the top OF the building.
In addition to the concrete con-
struction, an underground gasoline
system has been put in and this adds
to the guarantee against fire. Thus
the building is safe, its contents will
always be safe, and there will never
be any danger from the new home as
a source Of blaze. All this takes it
out of the usual riskey class of clean
ing establishments.
In the basement is a dry-cleaning
room modernly equipped with machin-
cry manufactured by the famous Troy
Laundry Machinery Company. The
outfit there includes two washers. q
distillery, two extractors and one
dry-room tumbler. Another room in
the basement IS used for dyeing and
wet cleaning with all modern devices
and at one corner in this room is an
electric motor, furnishing power and
light used and in the rear in a sep
arate concrete building is an upright
boiler. Gas, is not used in the build
ing and this is another safety against
fire.
A large room on the rear of the first
floor contains three pressing ma.
chimes, puff irons, ruffie irons aat
other equipment and pressing ant
sewing are done there.
The front room OF the first floor
which is also spacious and perfect III
its appointments, contains the offices
and lobby.
The second floor is complete also
in its finish;ngs and fixtures. II. A.
Heinze,a civil engineer, occupies two
rear rooms on that floor with his
office and draughtmen's department.
A feature Of the second floor is wait
ing and reading room for gentlemen
who desire to wait until quick orders
are filled. There are two other
rooms on that floor designed for office
or. other use, which will be rented.
A complete lavatory system adds
to the convenience of the building ana
nothing has been left undone to make
it strictly up to date.
The building and equipment cost
more than $4,000 and this popular
establishment has certainly added
materially to the citys structural
features and filled a long-felt want
in its particular line of business.
Henry He!nze who has conducted
the business here the last nine years
so successfully and satisfactorily will
have personal management of the
plant and business, guarantee that
the future of the concern will be
prosperous.
