A Lakeview Drycleaners THE RIGHT CHOICE BY REPUTATION 1888 SCUGOG ST., Port Perry (at Water St.) You spill something on yourself, you wipe it off and it looks fine. Or you spill something on yourself without realizing it happened. You hang the garment away and possibly wear it several more times. Now you wash it or dryclean it and afterward you find a yellowish stain that you never saw before. You have just seen magic; the invis- ible stain becoming visible. Compare the reaction to that of a cut apple turning brown after being exposed to the air. Exposure to light, heat or water may cause some stains to set permanently. That's one more reason why garments should be brought to LAKEVIEW DRY CLEANERS as soon as possible and you should indicate to the attendant what kind of stain it is. The trained staff at LAKEVIEW DRY CLEANERS can often restore soiled garments to their best possible condition. In addition to complete dry cleaning of garments, LAKEVIEW DRY CLEANERS offers shirt laundering, drapery cleaning, leather and suede cleaning, alterations and repairs. Extra care is given to silks, formal wear, Christening or wedding gowns, and other delicate gar- ments. Remember that a big city high-volume dry cleaner promoting the cheapest price often does not have the investment in equipment and personnel to be able to offer the best quality. Look for a cleaner that is experienced and has a quality reputation. Owner ELEANOR BUCKLER and the experienced staff at LAKE- VIEW DRY CLEANERS have been providing the best in specialized services at reasonable prices for 10 years. They are open Mon. Fri. 7-6 and Saturdays 9-2. (905) 985-1329 H&R BLOCK® "The right thing to do.

Northridge Excavating - DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME 90 VANEDWARD DRIVE, Port Perry (905) 985-8469 Excavation and haulage is much more than merely shuffling aggre- gates about. It takes years of experience for equipment operators and site foremen to manipulate the landscape in order to cater to the customer's requirements, while also knowing how that landscape must be shaped; if rainfall drainage is not taken into consideration, for example, it could result in many disgruntled property owners and neighbours. Their well maintained equipment at NORTHRIDGE EXCAVATING can make short work of any size project. Downtime is kept to a min- imum to help your project stay on schedule, and equipment is avail- able by the hour or by contract. The excavators are excellent for dig- ging stumps, ditch cleaning, clearing property or digging basements or fence rows. The dump trucks are well maintained and ready to go, allowing them to carry high payloads. Whether it's hauling excavat- ed material, or supplying sand, fill, topsoil, gravel or limestone prod- ucts, NORTHRIDGE EXCAVATING offers very competitive rates. They also have bulldozers for grading lots, clearing brush, backyard cleanup, and building driveways. Sewer and water work can also be provided. NORTHRIDGE EXCAVATING acquired Van Camp Contracting Ltd. on July 1, 1999. NORTHRIDGE EXCAVATING is an extension of Harvey Acton Ltd. of Uxbridge, and operates under the direction of the ACTON Family.
