Clothes Cleaned at Dresners Keep You in Health, Says He. "Tea Sir!" said Al Dresher of the firm of Dresher Brothers, Cleaners and Dyers with the $57,000 plant at 2211-2213 Farnam St., "you'll live longer and better If your clothes are cleaned oftener." "You see it's this way," added Al, with a confidential smile that seem ed to Invite a clothes cleaning order, "what good is the natural system of ventilating pores In one's skin If th pute, fresh air cannot get to the pores, I mean by that that the air Bpaces 'twixt the weaves and threads ,of your clothes are blocked if they're soiled and filled with dirt, etc., ana when they're blocked the air doesn't come through." Al. is a good talker and a swift talker, but he Is known for the truth at that. There is much in his theory. He has proved by numerous tests that a clean piece of fabric may be breathed through while a soiled piece of , the same fabric may not be breathed through. Al. contends also, and has proof to show that un cleaned clothes are hotter in sum mer and colder In winter. At any rate one ifeels and looks better In -garments that are cleaned, and the "system" in vogue at Dresh ers Immense plant has brought down cleaning costs to so low an ebb that anyone and everyone is nowadays ex pected to have his clothes cleaned and pressed regularly and often. Some might say that the clothes cleaning art is one that may be en Joyed only by city folks because of the lack of suitable cleaning estab lishments in the smaller towns, but, euch is not the case, for Dresher's Mall Order Dept. places the entire plant at the disposal of people living; even a thousand miles away, lu fact, Dreshers pay return charges on any sized bundle to any point in America. And most of your clothes may be sent by Parcel Post, so the expense of carrying couldn't be very great even if out of town folks were to pay it both ways instead of one. If you care to know more, about the hygienics of clean clothes get "Al." the ."Professor" on the phone personally Just call Tyler 345 ana ask for "Al." If "Al." isn't there "Sam' has Just as good a story to put up. After you've had your chat tell Dreshers to send a wagon to your home for your clothes. Or leave your clothes at Dresher The Tailors, 1515 Farnam St., or at the Dresher Receiving Station in the Brandels Stores. - , r , Good Housewives Make This Cough Syrup To quickly cure the most stubborn cough and break up a cold in six to lght hours, there, thero can 1 nothlnit 1 better than the following simple . rem edy, for It has been tried in thousand of cases with wonderful success.
