MABEL SAYS

The general public may be slow
to understand that the dry cleaning
business is one of the most formid-
able foes Of the high cost of living.
This same general public may be
slow to give proper credit to the in
dustry of this activity, altho it
performed great service in this line
during the time that wearing appar-
ell prices we're soaring above the
clouds. The skill and equipment of
the dry cleaners restored millions of
dollars worth of clothing to active
service in presentable form, at a
time when It was most needed, in
stead OF being thrown away or put
to no real service. The lesson thus
learned should be of lasting benefit.
The many phases of life affected
by a patronage of the dry cleaning
plants leads one far beyond the
mere saving in wearing apparel.
There is the health of the individu-
al, the family and community to be
considered. We already have strict
government regulations in regard
to the food we eat, but as yet there
no regulation of the condition of
our wearing apparel. The child
who wears soiled and germ polluted
garments daily to the school room.
spreads disease germs at his own
free will.
The dry cleaning industry should
continue to grow into a most impor-
tant factor in the lives of us all
when we consider what its work
skillfully done means to the pocket,
the personal pride, and the physical
well-being of each person.
The Barbourviile Steam Laundry
has invested hundreds of dollars in
in order to do dry clean
ing the right way. Nothing is too
delicate or costly to be trusted to
their care. Just call up telephone
No. "a and they will send a truck
right over and your things back the
next day looking like new.
