I HAS VERY MODERN PLANT, Mr. R. E. Ridenhour, Jr., Gives City 1 Up-1 to-Date Cleaning And Dyeing Com- j pany. A new enterprise and one that will fill a long felt need, has been organized in Concord by Mr. 11. E. Ridenhour, Jr., who has just opened Bob’s Dry Cleaning | Company in a new building just in the rear of the Concord Steam Laundry. The plant of Mr. Ridenhour represents the latest word in dry cleaning equipment and gives to this city an industry that has been badly needed for years. » Every machine in Mr. Ridenhour’s plant is of the latest construction and , boasts of the De Laval trade mark. The machines are so constructed that all > clothing and other garments cleaned are fully protected while in the cleaners and are returned to the owners without odor of any kind. One of the most modern machines in the plant is the gasoline clarifier Under the old system, it is remembered, „ fresh gasoline was not provided continuously while garments were being cleansed. The drum was filled with gasoline at each washing, but I*,he garments were not, treated with clean gasoline continuously as they are under the system being used by Mr. Ridenhour. His clarifier carries off the dirty gasoline in one pipe and brings in clean gasoline through another pipe. The.dirty gas in turn is clarified and thus when used again is free from dirt and impurities gathered in thr cleansing process.. From the gasoline drum the garments are placed in the gas extractor. Here the clothing is thoroughly dried when till gasoline is driven from them by air pres sure. From the extractor the clothing is sent to the tumbler, where all odor is driven off and where the garments arc thoroughly dried. The tumbler is equipped with a safety device, which controls the machine in such away that should friction from two buttons or other parts of the gar ment start a fire a stream of steam is shot into the tumbler, the steam being certain to extinguish any blaze. In operation yesterday the machines in Mr. Ridenhour’s plant extracted about a pound and a half of dirt from six suits and four dresses which were sent into the machines at the same time. The clothing came out spotless. Mr. Ridenhour will still be connected with the Concord Steam Laundry, which his father operates, but he will devote the greater part of his time to his dry cleaning company. He will be assisted in the operation of the plant by Mr. Roberts, for eight years an employe of the Boole Dry Cleaning plant at Ashe ville. A delivery service will be main tained. In addition to the dry cleaning pliut Mr. Ridenhour will conduct in connection with it a dyeing outfit. The work in both departments will be done by ex perts only. Although his new business has been in operation only a few days, Mr. Riden hour is already doing a creditable busi ness. which indicates that his modern plant will bo well patronized by Concord people. No cleaning and dyeing will be done in the future by the Concord - Steam Lauudry, Mr. Ridenhour states. • SECURING NEW MEMBERS FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Officers cf Organization Want to Get 150 Members at Once and Others Will Be Securer I Later. Several officers of the Concord Cham ber of Commerce are busy this week se curing additional members for the or ganization which was officially organized here last week at a big mass meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. So far officers of the chamber have secured about 90 memberships, and efforts are being made now to bring the total to 150. It is estimated that it will cost about $4,000 to conduct the chamber this year. This amount cannot be secured from the present membership, it is pointed out, and as the success of the organization, from a civic as well as from a financial standpoint, depends on the support it re ceives officers ar eanxious to get at least 150 members. It is certain that business men who are not members of the organization will not give the chamber the support they would give it were they members, and recogniz ing this fact officers are anxious to get the full support of the business interests of Concord behind the chamber. While officers of the chamber are es pecially anxious to get the minimum of 150 members, they won’t stop their mem bership -campaign when that many sign ers have been secured. There are fully 250 business concerns in the city that should be affiliated with the organiza tion, they point out. and they will con tinue their efforts until every one of these concerns have joined or have been given an opportunity to join. The membership campaign is being headed by Mr. J. L. M. Smith, secretary of the chamber, and lie is being supported by all members and certain officers who are accompanying him when he calls on prospects. It is easier to get new mem-, bers, Mr. Smith states, when he is ac companied by some local man who has the confidence of the prospect- Mr. Smith is a stranger bore and he is not always given the attention that a local man receives. $ Data pertaining to Concord. its possi bilities and resources, is being gathered now by the officers of the organization and this data will be so arranged that it can be mailed t(T all parts of the coun try. Prospective new-comers to Concord can get any information that they desire from the chamber, and the greatest work of the organization may prove its ability to keep in touch with new business that may be interested in locating here. The chamber of commerce gives prom ise of becoming one of the vital factors in the growth of Concord. Its success can be limited only by the support it re ceives from the general public.
