The Advantage of Our New Rate
Last week through these columns we announced our new rate
of washing flat aud rough dry work by the pound. We have
been repeatedly asked, “Will the new pound rate be an ad-
vantage to our customers T” OUR ANSWER IS IT WILL BE,
especially on small pieces. Under the* old rate you paid as
much for a small article as for a large one. Under the new
rate you will pay a small bit for small pieces. Thus if you
send ALL YOUR WORK to us you will find THE RATE
MATERIALLY DECREASED on the whole.
—TRY IT ONE WEEK.
—Phone us or ask our driver.
