Here again the "Know how" cuts any amount ol^icc. The Spotless Cleanness the pearly tint, the soft, silky finish, the Ilex ihlu stiffness, these things do not come by luck and chance, but rather by syste matic, intelligent handling; in short, the "Know how" produces the result. Wo have it. Give us a trial to do your laun dry, Freeland Steam Laundry. Clifford H. Heller, Mgr. 156 South Centre Street. TEMPERANCE MEN MEET District C. T. A. U. Conven tion Held Here.

VV.
