LAUNDRIES CURTAIL
DELIVERIES IN CITY
Family Laundry to Be Called for
Once a Week.

The laundry man will beam at
your door but once . week by or
der OF the War Industries board
Though his visits be limited TO one
a week. a little ray of sunshine is
as naught compared with the man
who robs blue Monday of its hor-
rors in being welcomed these dark
washladyless deys.
Everybody is supposed TO know
what absence does. and. perhaps IL
we don't see him quite as often, we
Will appreciate him to the extent
OF forgetting to rail at his soaring
prices.
The idea OF the order of the board
is TO conserve labor and material.
But II occurs to a mere feminine
mind that larger supply of house
hold and personal linen will be
needed to carry out the idea.
The plan adopted by the laund-
ries is the "once a week service. a."
that Is to say the deliveryman will
stop at your home only once during
the week, delivering your clean
linen from the previous week and
collecting the soiled at the same
time. Inquire OF your laundry his
day in your territory.
