A NEW CLEANING AND DYEING SERVICE
FOR
GRAND SALINE
On Tuesday of each week one of our Cleaning and Dyeing
cars will be in Grand Saline to pick up garments and fabrics
of all kinds for Cleaning and Dyeing.
Return deliveries will be made each Thursday.
We feature especially the service for your finer pieces and
hats, which no other East Texas institution has the facilities
to do adequately.
Our Cleaning and Dyeing Plant is admitedly the best
equipped in East Texas. Within the recent past thousands of
dollars worth of the most modern equipment have been in-
stalled. Only the most skilled artists in the science of cleaning
and dyeing are employed—no amateurs, but workmen who
know and understand their business and who are proud of the
craftsmanship as Master Cleaners.
The Interior of our plant, too, is a model of convenience,
safety and Sanitary Arrangements—so much so that teachers
and classes in Domestic Science, as well as Cleaners and Dyers
from other cities have come to study our methods. We shall
be glad to have you inspect our modern plant and its up-to-
date processes.
WE OFFER TO GRAND SALINE AND VICINITY AN EN-
LARGED SERVICE IN CLEANING AND DYEING m
—A SERVICE OF EFFICIENCY,
SAFETY AND ECONOMY
