are returning from mountain and lake
resorts. Yes, I should say they were,
to Judge from the number of summer
dresses, sport suits, sweaters and
other outing togs which / saw a day
or two ago in the Pantorium, all
awaiting the careful process employed
that will restore them once more to
their pristine freshness. In all my
travels about this big country of ours,
I've never seen finer cleaning any
where than is done by The Pantor-
um OF Omaha. So painstaking are
they with the little things that count
so much with women, such as missing
buttons and hooks sewed on, rips
taken care Of, pleats Strengthened,
ETC., that it's no wonder their patrons
stay with them year in and year out.
II you want really frst-class cleaning
and dyeing, | advise you by all means

IS Doug. 963.
