Several of our laundries that were
only small hand laundries a few years
ago, are now as modern as any that
can be found throughout the country.
These laundries have built up a big
business because of the care they give
TO the work which comes TO them.
At one time the price that we pay
for our laundering now would have
looked far too small for a laundry
man TO exist, but the system has
been so perfected that a good pront
can be made by hot only the laundry
but also by the customer who sends
the work TO the laundry.
South Bend people are as critical
buyers as people of any other city, no
matter wlzt line it is they are buying

to prosper must give the best service
possible. There is no better retail
market anywhere in the country. bat
the merchant must have the kind OF
goods wanted or ne will find that his
sales are dwindling. This applies 10
laundering as we'll as to any other
business. Patrons want the best OF
work at a fair price, and this has
brought about a change in the indus

the laundries do better work than they

The complexion of approximately
100000 shirts and $4,000 collars is
changed in the various laundries of
South Bend in the course of one week.
In one of our big laundries 10000
pieces, including towels, sheets, col
lars, shirts. and other wearing apparel
are washed and ironed during a single
week, while a report from that par
ticular laundry 10 years ago showed
that there were not more than $4,000
articles Numbered by the South Bend
laundries during the same length Of
time.
More than 200 men and women are
employed in the various plants
changing the soiled goods that come
into the laundry back TO their original
colors.
In following a shirt from the time
it reaches the laundry to the time it
is sent back TO the owner one would
watch it through 10 machines and a
number of inspectors hands.
1t is first placed in the electric
washer where the dirt is removed and
from that machine il passes to the
extractor, a machine recently made,
which revolves 1,4O0 times per minute
and in so doing draws all the water
by centrifugal force out of the shirt.
The next step is that of starching,
which is done by hand. The shirt
passes on to the dryer, a heated
chamber through which the shirts
pass on trolleys coming out at the end
perfectly dry and as sweet as they
can be in only a few minutes. Next
il goes TO the dampening machine that
dampens it enough TO be ironed- The
| ironing is done by four different ma
chimes, the first one only irons the
body of the shirt and il is passed TO
the next machine where the cuffs are
! ironed, next the bosom machine press
| es the bosom and the last machine
| that touches the shirt is the one that
! irons the neck band The shirt is
/ taken TO the finishing room where
the ironing is completed by hand and
all bottoms missing are replaced.
