SERVICE
MANHATTAN

Yes, Ma'am, we're sorry that we
can no longer make special collec-
tons and deliveries when your
husbands summer clothes need
cleaning in a hurry-or when
you're trying to stretch the family
wardrobe to take care Of frequent
changes needed in hot weather.
But all Of us must conserve trucks,
tires and gasoline. So, we must
ask you to juggle the family's
clothes and changes Of linen 80 as
to conform with our wartime COL
lection and delivery schedule.
There's another reason why, these
days, we can't give you service
that is as quick and as prompt
as we d like it to be. And, believe
it or not, it's the WEATHER!
You see, even before the hot wea-
ther started, here at Manhattan
we were handling far more laun-
dry and dry cleaning work than
ever before. And, now that hot

weather demands 80 many more
changes of clothes, most every
body's laundry bundle is larger.
We have never seen 50 much
washing and ironing and cleaning
but we want you to know
that the folks who do the work here
at Manhattan are doing their
level best to maintain the quality
Of your work and your service.
What's more, we're sincerely
grateful to you customers for your
friendly, cooperative attitude dur
ing these trying times. That means
lot to us because we have spent
25 years building a reputation for
fine laundry and dry cleaning
servicc-and we're just as eager to
please you now as the day we
started in business. War condi-
tons beyond our control may
hamper us, but we'll stay in there
trying to deserve your good will
and your business.

Dressing

Bath, Bedroom
Spacious Rooms
Are Ideal Spots
TO Store Clothing

A place for everything. always
such an important point with folks
who are particular about the
wardrobe, becomes even more vital
in these days Of conservation. That
means that clothes, shoes. hats,
cosmetics. jewelry. scarfs. gloves
and stockings are put away-out
OF sight, tidily-yet readily &C
cessible.
A real dressing room with It's
wealth of closets and storage space
is a luxury but its useful features
can easily be duplicated in a large
closet. A corner of a large bed
room or a bath can be made to
serve as a dressing room. The
secret is, of course, built-in cabi-
nets, shelves and a well-lighted
mirror and place to sit down In
front of the mirror.

Can Build Shelues

Any home carpenter or handy
man could build shelves and stor-
age space. Two small chests can
be painted to tie in with definite
color scheme and joined by glass
shelf and with the addition of
mirror would give a nice dressing
room.
Since the dressing room Is
strictly a utilitarian affair, even
if it is fairly large in area, it can't
be too much of a personality room
except for details and perhaps
some gadgets. The room Is really
a better place than the bath for
the clothes hamper.
Paint the hamper, the waste
basket, the mirror frame and per-
haps the top of the dressing table
a deep rich color accenting and
iintensifying the color of the adj

New Idea
Brooder House Follows Pat
tern Of Insulated Navy Hut

The same principle Of construc-
ton used in navy huts in Panama
and Iceland Is now employed In
the building of brooder houses for
the farm. The navy huts are
semicircular in shape and are de-
scribed as looking like over
grown oil drums turned on their
side and partially buried"
Because the corrugated metal
outside walls have an inner layer
of fiber insulation, the same type
of hut keeps marines cool in
Panama and WARM in Iceland. The
building is light and easy to
move, and the insulation prevents
sudden changes Of indoor tenn
perature.
