THE FLEXIBLE LAUNDRY co.

There has appeared quite recently
on Convention street near Dufrocq a
building of considerable magnitude
filled with machinery of the very lat
est and most improved pattern for
the purposes for which intended. The
buildings and plant are proving not
only a necessary convenience to the
general public but are an important
and valuable addition to the industrial
establishments of this city and a
credit to the progressive citizens who
established and are most successfully
conducting its affairs. The establish
ment is known as the Flexible Laun-
dry Company, Incorporated, a visit
to which astonishes one at the prac-
tical and scientific methods employed
in washing, ironing and giving the
appearance of newness to personal
garments and household effects.
The building itself is a model of
perfection for the purposes for which
it is utilized, with its lofty ceiling,
large windows and openings, perfect
ventilation, its cleanliness and general
air of comfort for employees. 1t has
a frontage of go by depth of 1O6
feet and is so roomy that crowding
Is 'mposslble' The machinery is the
last word in scientific invention and
is kept whirling during all hours of
the day washing, wringing, drying,
ironing and delivering the clothing of
an army of customers.
The system employed from the time
the fabrics are received and ready
tor delivery to the many wagons and
trucks which serve the establishment
are as perfect as human ingenuity
can devise.
lhe goods to be washed are receiv-
ed and weighed in white cotton bags

numbered metallic tag which follows

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANTS
OF OUR GROWING CITY

Not city in the state compares tC
Baton Rouge when rapid growth of
population and wide extension of ter.
ritory is considered. Net only are
large business buildings being erected
on every hand, but handsome home
steads are located and being located
in every direction. All this is pleas
ing evidence of prosperity itself "a
say nothing of the widely expanding
sphere of mercantile enterprise. OF
the latter much credit should be Civ
en- our enterprising merchants who
have kept pace to the demands of the
rapidly increasing population while
reaching out for the trade of sur
rounding towns and parishes. With
such enterprising and progressive
men at the head of the list of dry
goods and clothing establishments as
Farrnbacher, Raymond, Sommers and
Welch & Levy those lines of trade
have expanded so amazingly as to
cause one to marvel at the intelligence
an denergy displayed. To such large
proportions has the business of our
merchants grown that each and all
have been called upon to enlarge
their respective premises four fold
and yet the cry is for more. The
building of Welch & Levy at the COR
ner Of Third and Main is crowdc
with goods; Raymond has been CON-
PEELED to build skyward in order to
secure more room. Farrnbacher, not
withstanding his large and roomy
building, has scarcely room to ac-
commodate his usual rush of custom
ers while that live wire, that dynamo,
Sommers, is remodeling and enlarg-
ing his establishment to meet his al
ready large aid rapidly growing line
Of customers. The business element
Of Baton Rouge is surely progressive
and filled with civic pride and ar.
evidently reaping fair reward for
their labor.

, delivery thus reducing the chances of
mix up to minimum. In fact the
system is such that mistakes can
scarcely be made.
A representative of Woman's En-
terprise on a recent visit to the estab-
lishment had the working Of the Won
derful machinery fully explained but
to furnish readers with technical de-
tails is beyond her scientific accomp-
lishments, therefor can only say after
following a bag of clothing from its
first handling to finish she was fas-
cinated by the operation Of the ma
chinery which receiving the sorted
articles passed them from one to an
other to appear finally snow white
and glossy.
The establishment IS not only a
public necessity but its pay roll counts
for considerable in the maintenance
Of its employees who number 25 or
80, mostly bright, intelligent and in
dustrious women and girls who other
wise might be idle and unemployed.
The pay roll of the Flexible Laundry
Company not only provides support
to its employees but adds very con-
siderably to the prosperity of others.
A visit to the plant will most un-
doubtedly reveal a pleasing and in
structive sight to those who take in
terest in the growth and development
Of Baton Rouge as only a prosperous
community and rapidly growing city
could provide and maintain an indus
trial enterprise such as we have in
the Flexible Laundry Company.
