"There Go All My
Wash-day Troubles"
Many, many women all over Philadelphia, who
once virtually detested the very thought of wash
day, now know what it means to be scot-free from
all wash-day troubles and discouragements. They
know what this freedom means to their comfort,
their happiness, their health.
You too can be numbered among these women
if you, like them, will take advantage of Family
Laundry Service. The cost of family laundry serv
ice is much lower than you think and the way every
piece is spotlessly laundered will satisfy you. Your
present laundryman will call promptly at a specified
time and return the washing in the same manner,
as follows
All flat pieces, including bed linen, table linen
and towels', washed, smoothly ironed, evenly folded
'and ready for use.
Wearirtg apparel, all underclothing, dresses,
children's garments, etc., carefully washed and
dried (and starched where necessary) ready to be
dampened and ironed.
Many undergarments may be worn without
ironing, due to the method of drying. This will
save a great deal of your ivork in finishing that
portion of your wash.
The hardships of home laundering is done
away with in modern laundries by systematic
methods, correct organization, proper apportion
ment of labor, and the aid of appliances that do bet
ter work than hands and with less effort.
The conditions which make laundries good
places to work, make them also the place to have
your laundering done.
Men's collars end shirts last longer when
done by dependable laundries. Try the shirt
and collar service of your present laundry.
