Warren Laundry is Now Biggest
in State.

With the installation yesterday o
an American 7-roll steam collar ant
cuff ironing machine, the Warner
laundry in Tombstone canyon was adj
vanced to first place in Arizona in
point of laundry equipment and ca.
pacity for work. In consequence OF
which Bisbee enjoys reputation for at
least two industries that are bigger
than those elsewhere in the state
mining and laundry-a tribe wide
apart in score but both highly desir-
able possessions.
Warren laundry is now working IS
people continuously and is handling
more business than ever before in its
history. If the increase measures
growth in population even in small
degree, said Mr.. johnson of the
laundry yesterday, the Warren dis
trict is gaining very rapidly.
Beside the collar and cuff machine
put in commission yesterday at the
laundry, there has recently been in
stalled Stroll Hagen 1OO-inch flat
work iironer and large compart-
ment washer. The collar and cuff
ironer has practically unlimited ca
pacity. 1t does away with possible
delay at the end of the week in turn
ing out all Of this sort of work that
may be on hand. For time this work
has been so large that the laundry
found itself swamped each week, the
purchase of the new machine being
the result The other two machines
ately added have also largely in
creased the capacity of the plant and
we're required to handle increased
