Next week Messrs. CASTOR and Rene
Mestayer will commence operating the
laundry formerly known as the New Ibe-
ria Steam Laundry. This industry had
suspended business since the duration of
the war when so many Of its patrons was
called into service. With the closing
down of this Industry a number of per-
sons employed was thrown out of en-
plovment besides the patrons had to send
their washing out of town as well as their
money. Messus. Mestayer & Mestayer
the two young gentlemen who have taken
over the business intend to make every
effort 20 build up the business and it
behooves everybody interested in our in
dustries to see that our own industry is
literally patronized. Mr.. Rene Mestaysr
is a practical laundrymaA, having had
several years experience in the business
many years ago when it was conducted
by Mr.. Sealy. The new proprietors as
sure US they will operate the plant in such
a wav that the natrcns will be more than
satisfied, and they expect every citizen
interested in New iberia to give them
an opportunity to show what they can -.
If our people will onlv take into consid-
.-ation the fact that it requires the serv-
ices of at least a dozen employees to
operate this laundry they will readily APP
r-e-;ate what tn. circulation Of the money
means among the working classes. We
feel certain Messrs. Mestayer & Mes
tayer will make a big success of this
business from the very start of their ma
chinery.
