Brides, Notice
We Have Five Separate Departments in our Laundry for Your Convenience and Economy
In Family Laundry Service
(No. 1) Wet Wash Department
In this department we wash 17 lbs. for 75c, each additional pound 4c. Flat pieces ironed if desired at following prices: Spreads or tablecloths, 7c each; sheets, slips, rollers, 2c each; towels, napkins, rags, lc each.
(No. 2) Dry Wash Department
In this department all flat pieces are washed and ironed ready to use. Other pieces are dried, ready to dampen and starch at your convenience. The minimum charge is 11 lbs. for 90c; each additional pound 8c.
(No. 3) Rough Dry Department
In this department we wash and starch the pieces that have to be starched, and dry them ready to be dampened and ironed at home, for 10c per pound. We iron all flat pieces such as spreads, tablecloths, sheets, slips, towels, napkins, handkerchiefs and rags. The rough dry receives that same careful attention as the finished work. A trial will convince you. Minimum charge, $1.00.
(No. 4) Finished Work Department
In this department everything is washed and ironed and delivered ready to use, such as ladies' and gents' fancy and silk wearing apparel, blankets, doilies and comforters. We also wash curtains at owner's risk. We darn stockings, sew on buttons and do some mending free.
(No. 5) Blanket Department
We have installed an up-to-date machine for cleaning and renovating cotton and wool blankets. We return blankets as clean and fluffy as when they were new. We also wash curtains at owner's risk. A trial will convince you. (We make our service to fit your income.) You take as much as you can afford to buy. We call and deliver in Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda. Give us a trial.
