These Gleaning Facts
Will Save You Money
Choose your cleaner as carefully as you choose your
doctor, lawyer, mechanic, butcher—or any one ol the spec
ialized tradesmen or professionals necessary to itlth century
civilized living.
A good cleaner will save you as much as Slab per year
in avoidable damage lo and preventible deterioration ol
your family wardrobe and other household fabrics. Itut
you must cooperate on these important points:
1. Buy well. Buy only the things which your nice
chant can assure vou will be serviceable. No clean
er can improve on the original quality
3. Clean all stained garments as soon as possible. Age,
grime and stains are a ruinous combination to fab
rics and dyes And 100 cleanings, by laboratory test,
cause less wear and deterioration than one week of
imbedded soil.
3. Some things are better wet-cleaned. Some require
both treatments, depending on eonditions. This is
one ol the most vital reasons for choosing a good
cleanci. All cleanings begins with diagnosis.
4 Ask foi the extra services which professional clean
ers can give you. They’ll add months of life to ex
pensive fabrics Sizing rolling ot sleeves, pre-shrink
mg -or just plain old advice
Practice these suggestions and use the services of a
good cleaner. One who uses fresh solvents, tillered regn
tarty. Him knows his fabrics, stains, and dyes. Who uses
the right digesers. And the correct tinisiiing procedures.
You’ll save.
Naturally, yse arc asking you to
