Sayer Bros. Inc, By Progressive
Methods Are Rendering A
Cleaning and Dyeing Ser
wee That Represents
The Best Thoughts
In The Industry.

One interesting firm Of Americas
business which Wilmington can
lay claim to is the firm of Sayer
Brothers. Inc. Dyers and Cleaners,
whose establishment and works
is located at Eighteenth and Mar
ket streets, with branch office. 1904
Delaware avenue. This firm as
well as the citizens Of Wilmington
have something that they can we'll
be proud of. and can furthermore
boast Of having the only, most COM
plete modern plant Of its kind in the
State of Delaware This business
was started less than sixteen years
ago on a very small scale and sue
cess has been its reward It is an
other example of equation Of
America, plus persistence with
push equals success. The father
OF the original firm of Sayer
Brothers, composed OF Abram. VIII
liam H. and Isaac, came TO this
country a little over sixteen years
ago and located in Philadelphia
while his family was quite small
and became engaged in the tailor
ing business. A short time after
wards his family joined him. and
as these boys grew up they were
put to work cleaning. pressing and
repairing garments in order to
help out the family fortunes.
In the early days the term
cleaning was not used in the trade.
Those engaged in this work called
it whisking. The tradesman was
called a whisker. That was long
before the art Of dry cleaning was
known about or even thought OF.
The so-called cleaner of today,
unless he has a modern up-tO-date
plant, is not much better than the
Old-time whisker, whose methods
are to hunt for the surface spots.
simply remove them, and pay no
attention to the grOund-in dust and
germs that the garments oftimes
contain.
The field in which these boys
started under the guidance of their
father was not as productive as
Abram thought it should be in
America, and so he started out to
look for a suitable site. He came
10 Wilmington in 1901 and located
at Delaware avenue and Jefferson
streets, where he laid the founda-
ton for lis present business. Later
on he sent for his brother and the
partnership then started and has
lasted ever since.
In starting this business in the
early days one gallon Of gasoline,

and clean possibly twenty-five or

their modern plant and sanitary
methods as applied in dry clean

as to give the greatest efficiency.
At regular intervals the assOcia-
ton meets in conference where
these ideas are discoursed upon
and the individual members ex-
change views relative TO the busi-
ness. Few people give any
thought to the dyeing and clean
ing business and look upon II as a
commercial proposition giving
scant credit 20 it as an important
factor in the general health and a
benefit to the community in which
Il is established.
Every great advancement in hu-
man effort is brought about through
some unerring law. The close re-
lation between the laws of santa
ton and the rules of health has
made the modern cleaning plant a
household necessity. The added

A phase Of the Sayer Brothers
business which Is growing contin-
ually in popularity is their stor-
age department. II IS an entirely
new feature for Wilmington and
many are placing their garments
and draperies at the end Of the
season in their care. They are
first cleaned, and then placed in
moth proof compartments and are
ready Immediately for service al
the beginn ng of the next season,
and in the best of condition. Along
with this. the Sayer Brothers
Company carries insurance against
loss by fire or moths on articles
given into their care with no add
tiOnal charge, other than storage.
Sayer Brothers can help you dur
