CHARLES TOWN STEAM
LAUNDRY
]. c. Ford, Prop

~ There has been in recent wears a
number of important changes in house
keeping methods that have helped to
ease the burdens of the housewife and
taking the place of domestic service, but
no one agency has done SO much in this
direction, as the steam laundry conducted
along thoroughly up-to-date lines. Every
one remembered the dread with which
wash day" was looked forward to, but
this dread, is a thing of the past now,
in the best managed households all over
the land, for it has en4supplanted by the
modern steam laundry. The washing
is done better, it is far more sanitary,
and in the end less expensive than old
methods. This city has in the Charles
Town Steam Laundry, of which Mr..
]. c. Ford is the enterprising and ener-
getic proprietor, one of the best exam
pies of what modern steam laundry
should be, and one that cannot be beat
anywhere in place of this size. The
work of this laundry will compare most
favorabiy with that done at the most
celebrated laundries of the country. The
service is prompt, reliable, and excellent,
and the charges are reasonable. 1t would
pay every housewife not no a patron to
make an investigation of the excellent
work done at this place, and learn by
practical experience the benefits to be
derived. Roughdry washing. to be. ironed
at home, and any class of work from,
the coarsest clothing to the finest lace
curtains is accomplished, the most fragile
lingerie being handled by experts. A
prompt and reliable delivery service
covers both Charles Town, Ransom,
Harper's Ferry and ShepherdstOwn,
and washing is called for and delivered

Jefferson and the surrounding counties
are the best stock raising sections in
the country, and Charles Town, as the
natural metropolis Of this fertile and pro-.
ductive territory, is the great distribut-

raising in this part of the Valley than

RACKET DEPARTMENT STORES
Reliable Goods at Honest Prices
B. H. Riddleberger, Prop.

That the department store has revolu-
tionized the mercantile business of the
world every thoughtful and intelligent
person must realize. The merchant who
deals in many things and deals largely,
must necessarily be in position. to buy
to better advantage than one who does
not have similar advantages The trend
Of the times is toward concentration and
one of its greatest results is the develop
ment of the modern department store for
the old-time merchandising store. One
of the best examples of what the modern
