I ' She is Glad Now that Her Laundress Failed Her Last week Mrs. Brown was in despair. For the third time her laun.dress had failed her. And the family simply had to have clean things to wear. She had never tried our Family Lallhdry service-she was quite certain that it was terribly expensive. But something had to be done, so she bundled up her washing and called for our driver. _ Then she was on _needles and pins until her bundle and our bill came back. "Imagine my surprise," she told us, "to find that my week's washing had cost me no more than I had been paying my laundress." "And the work was so nicely done- everything was so fresh and spotless. The little bit of ironing left for me took hardly any tiine at all." You· will find our Family Laundry Service [equally delightful-ey it today and be convinced. We will call for your bundle, and wa8h your clothes. in oceans of rainsoft water, with the mildest of pure, white soap. We'll iron all of the neavy flat pieces, and we'll return your washing promptly, with only a few garments left for you to iron. Just phone us when your bundle is ready. · '"i . ! llg. ,.
