WINNETKA TALK February 12,.1927 "Laundered" Shirts Last So Much Longer This is the reason. In laundering shirts our scientific process fills the pores of the fabric, and presses the fibres closely to- gether, imparting a fine, smooth, soil- resisting finish. We leave no soft, spongy surface to attract and hold dust dirt; no loose threads to roughen and tear Give this modern shirt-saving and shirt cleansing method a trial. Telephone us or call in Bill the Washington Laundry Man.
