Facts About the
Steam Laundry

Last week was our first week
with the steam laundry. Some
praise the work (Which really was
first class) others complain. Some
say prices are too high, others pay
and say prices are very reasonable.
We have gone to great expense
installing this laundry and outlay
of about $4,000 If we can do your
work nearly as cheap as the wash
woman has been doing it, don't you
think we should have your patron
age. Are we not responsible for
the negroes offering now to do your
work for less money? 1t will take
long time for us to clear 10 of
our investment, but we have faith
in the people of Poplarville and
Pearl River County. We believe
you should have the best and we
are working to make Poplarville
Steam Laundry the best laundry of
its size in Mississippi.
Won't you please withhold your
criticism and give us fair trial?
