. it, it would not c-ny prove a source of profit to.
the proprietor, but would also be . of ; great
'. advantage to our -itizons by : reducing- the
price now paid fov having their washing done.
There are at leakt 250 farriiiies who put out their
washing, and pay from one to two dollars : per
week for it. A low. estimate would be $125 per
week say for 250 families, which would amount
to $312.50 per .veok. This entire amount of
' work could be easily done in tlie'Laundry by 10
persojis, say at a cost of $4 each per week,; and
if the juice now paid was reduced one half, it
would fet ill pay a very large vrvrnfit to the pro-
. prietor.- Let some.. one. start the busmos--, and
success will crown the etibi t. '
