JANUARY 4th __ Because of the steady advance in the cost of supplies and materials, excessive tax burdens and increased operating expenses generally, we to day find our operating cost up at least S0% over a year ago. In order to maintain the high standards of work we have been giving our customers in Roanoke Rapids, Enfield and Emporia, we find it positively necessary to make a slight increase in the prices formerly charged for FAMILY FINISHED and ROUGH DRY BUNDLES. Effective Monday, January 11th, 1937, the prices for all classes of work done by these two laundries will be as follows: Family Finished Bundles: 10 lbs. for $1.00 (Minimum Charge $1.00. All over at 10c per lb.) Rough Dry—6c per pound (Minimum Charge of 50c on all Rough Dry Bundles) Wet Wash—minimum charge 50c—4c per pound Bachelor Bundles—List Price, or—20c per pound. You will note prices on two classes of work has been adjusted—the Family Finished and Bough Dry Bundles. This price increase amounts to only 2c per pound on Family Finished Bundles, and lc per pound on Rough-Dry Bundles. Just a few cents on the average bundles, yet this will allow us a sufficient increase to take care of mounting cost of all com modities today, because of the volume of work we do. For your informa tion, price schedules in effect NOW, are still on an average of 25% LOW ER than those charged by any other Laundries in North Carolina or Virginia. You’ll find these two laundries anxious to serve you. We consider it simply a matter of fairness to our customers to maintain a price for our work that will enable us to pay fair wages to our employees, make prompt deliveries, maintain our plants and use only the best materials and sup plies, thereby safe-guarding your health and protection.
