Good laundries long have felt the
necessity of an improved method
of marking many items of apparel
for Identification. Years ago a
metal tag was introduced which
clasped through the fabric.
While it served the purpose of
identification, the tag, unfortunate
ly, snagged the material in which
it was clasped and often left an
unsightly hole. Aside from damage
to the fabric, the wearer often
found the tag aggravating, when it
came in contact with the skin, and
inclined to catch on other apparel.
In France the better laundries
haste a bit of cloth, bearing the
Identification, to the garment. This
work is done by hand and with
few loose stitches and, while it has
advantages over the metal clasp tag
so far as the wearer is concerned,
it is too slow and too expensive to
be practical in American laundrieS
where volume and costs always are
a consideration in order to keep
prices down.
From the French method, the Best
Grand Laundry cleaned an idea
which, in turn, has brought about
an entirely new process of marking
garments that makes obsolete the
old time metal tag idea.
Working in collaboration with the
Singer Sewing Machine Company,
the Best Grand Laundry has caused
to be perfected a machine which
chain stitches a small, neat cloth
label to all pieces of laundry which
formerly required metal clasp tags.
This label carries the identifying
characters and is just as slightly as
the labels sewed in the neckbands
of fine shirts. No metal, no rough
stitches and no uncertain hand
work. In a flash this new machine
attaches slightly, uniform labels
which meet with the instant ap-
prevail OF the most discriminating
people.
Chain stitches, as most women
know, are removed easily. The la
bel can be pulled off instantly with
out strain or missing the fabric.
But the label will not come off until
the thread is broken or pulled, there
by assuring some degree of per-
manency if desired.
The Best Grand laundry has no

1t isn't how little can be done to
each garment for the smallest
AMOUNT of money, but how much
quality can be built into this serv-
ice that will insure long life that
clothing should give, according to
H. G. Thomas of Allen & Thomas
Cleaners, 1122-24 West Thirtieth
street.
Thomas has been engaged active
ly in business of cleaning and re-
finishing textiles for thirty years
and c. L. Allen, his partner, for
eighteen years.
They started in business at the
present location eleven years ago,
occupying a modest three-room
building which they built on the
back of the lot.
Persistent effort, a vision and de-
sire to provide the finest service
possible, using only the best
materials available, compelled them
to add to their buildings and equip
ment.
They now occupy the entire space
of a concrete fire-proof building
80 by 160 feet, with every modern
convenience for efficient service.
The cleaning department is under
direct supervision of Thomas.
Machinery is of the latest type and
the solvent is the best obtainable,
being distilled before use to insure
freedom from moisture, oils and all
foreign matters, thus assuring re-
turn of garments with colors revived,
clean and odorless.
Allen personally supervises the
pressing and finishing department,

HOME OWNERS
PROTECTED BY
GOOD ROOFING
Replacing Entire Surface
Often Is Cheaper Than
Several Repairs.

Within the next few weeks a
great many roofs in this section will
be gone over. Some of them will
be patched, postponing until later
the inevitable replacement. Others
will be covered over with some of the
newer roofing materials, and The
end of the roofing troubles will he
found, while still others will be torn
off and new roofing will be put on
Which of these methods will be
best must be governed by the in
dividual circumstances. Generally
speaking, it rarely pays to try 10
patch an old roof. Sooner or later
the woik will have to be done over
the remaining part of the roof, and
the expense of getting ready to do
the work several times may be al
most as much as it would cost to
replace the whole Of it at once.
Double Roof Provided
Especially is this true now that
so many roofing materials are be-
ing placed right over the old
