WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR
CLOTHES
When They Leave Your Home?
Are they washed under the most sanitary condi
tions, through processes which insure sterile
cleanliness, and the protection of fabrics? Or do
they go into a questionable home, where they are
either washed in an unclean kitchen, or a back
yard where there's as much garbage as there is
fresh air? Then you are endangering your fami
ly? Why take chances? Why risk precious lives?
You're not economizing that's the worst form of
extravagance! Ee wise ... be thrifty ... let us do
your laundry regularly, every week and return it
