(ADVEltTlSKMENT) -ban Scufl. GRIME -- Destroyer of Clothes Grime comes from two major sources. It's either dirt from the atmosphere which gets pressed or rubbed into the garment. - Or it's perspiration or skin oils, again pressed or rubbed, into the garment. Or both •-- usually both, in fact. There is, naturally, no preventive remedy. The atmosphere is never wholly clean. And we do perspire, and our skins exude oils. That's the human being for you, and that's all that can be said. However, there is a treatment. And this is it. \ ^ NEVER PRESS ANY GARMENT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CLEANED. Pressing or rubbing imbeds the grime more deeply, and causes it to penetrate the fibers of the fabric. The result Is that the fabric in' the garment will deteriorate more rapidly. We therefore recommend that, in addition to being sure the garment is clean before it's pressed, you CLEAN YOUR CLOTHES Q>FTEN. It has been demonstrated time and again by every test known, that a garment which is regularly cleaned outwears one that isn't, by a wide margin. In fact, a hundred cleanings cause less wear than one week of wearing while soiled! Which means you don't have to buy new clothes as often. There's another kind of "griminess". That's graying. This is due to incomplete washing or cleaning, and is especially true of white garments. "White" gar ments are not, of course, naturally white. They're made that way through bleaching and unless rebleached frequently during "wet" and "dry" cleaning will have a tendency to return to their original grayish cast. Cleanable clothes can be kept from graying, whatever their color, by sanitone cleaning with fresh and potent solvents. And this we always do. So, for clean clothes, with all the grime removed -- BRING THEM TO RAINBOW CLEANi ERS, North Front Street around ! the corner north of National Tea. PHONE 927 for pickup service or save 10% cash & carry. Mrs. F. W. H. of McHenry says, "I take my dry cleaning to RAINBOW because I can always rely on excellent workmanship and undue courtesy which your efficient ! clerks never fail to bestow."
