I - ---- I AD-Vr?W-PT.- -- , . tors ot this establishment formed upon the rirer Wne,at Phipp's.brldge, .1itcharn, beg leave to submit to thc! o~nsidea"Ption of the public some of thteadvantages-whichit pr,es.ents to their notice. It has been proved by a series of experiments, that steinm is the most simple and efficient agent in the cleansing of cotto and linen goods; that itesTrctually bleaches and renders soluble nny oily sub. stance, whilst it does not in the smallest degree wear or injure the texture of the cloth. The ordinary practice of rubbing and wring. ing weakens, separates, and destroys the threads of the cloth, and it rsotains greater injury by this mode of washing than even by itS daily use. 'i'he expense ot the necessary apparatus, and the un_ skilfulness ofservants in the use of it, are insuperable objections tos tie general introduietion into private families of a system of washring by steam; and therefore, for this mode of washing,alarge establish.. inent, constructed upon s dentifieprinciples, with all its parts adapted to the obj1ect in view, seems indispensably necessary to secure tD the public all its advantageA The public mray be fully assured that their linen in the hands of the Company is perfectly safe; that it wi)l be regularly received by che caravans of the company, and delivered the third day after it is received; that it willbedried in wet weather by stesmi heat, and always perfecty aired, fit for immediate use, that there will be a reducton from the prices ordinarilg paid; that the whole operatire business of the establissment wiltbe conducted by the most esx perienced and skilful laundresses, and that no experse vill be -spared n the getting up of the goods in the nosot elegant and fashionable Those families who, with a view to economy, at present submit to the inconvenience of washing at home, will find that by sending their linen to this establishment, they wil not only save in expWetae but will hnve their apparel more beautifully washed, and moreper- featly got up, than it can be done at their own houses, ard at the same tine renmove the most offensive obstacle to domestic comfort-. advantages which every housekeeper will readily appreciate. The Comnpany rest the success of the uudertaingbupon its publie utility and the good sense of those whose health, interests, and coni- for. it immediately concerns. In answer to any objection which may arise as tolts injurious ef- fect an those of the poorer classes who make washing by hand their onqapation, they beg leve to observe, that the agrefre of labour, will be very litl d frminishea, and that the great numbebof wromerx and children who will be cmployed under proper regulations, sand with far snore comfort than at their own homes, wiU render it, even, in this point of view, a benefit to the public. The works are nearly cormpleted, will very soon be iro. oetations and the Company beg leare to reftr those who nmay wsh for any furtherinforaiation, or are desirous of favouring them witb thetr orders, to the offices of tbe concern, 7, Chathar.pltc Blackfiara-; or to Phipp's-bridge..house, Atitham, Surrey.
