The Rainbow is About Due
It can’t rain always, but—
It HAS rained long enough to get everybody’s clothes out of
shape. ^
And when the rainbow comes out, the town will be full of gar
ments that will need a real good pressing and there’ll be plenty
of hats needing reblocking.
You’ll want quick, reliable service. We’ll give it to you.
YOUR FALL AND WINTER APPAREL—
How about them?
Every cloud has a silver lining. While this rainy spell keeps
you indoors, you’ll find it profitable to hunt out last year’s fall
and winter garments. Send them to us to be dry cleaned pnd
restored to their original freshness. f,
