man farms, Ralph Kennedy and Fred
L. Ilild are placing a new roof an
otherwise placing the property, both
barn and other outbuildings in ex
cellent condition for the coming win
ter and for the rains of the coming

For some time small ads have been
appearing in the Journal calling at
tention to the coming of "Band Box"
cleaning service to Plattsmouth. The
equipment has now arrived and the
large opening ad appears in this issue
with Friday, October 9th, set as the
opening day.
Mr. E. C. Harris, owner of the
Plattsmouth Laundry, who is adding
thi3 complete cleaning and pressing
service to his business has been busy
all week getting the machinery in
stalled and ready for the opening, in
which he will be assisted by a rep
resentative of the Band Box com
pany.
Briefly, the Band Box system of
cleaning is built around a new and
odorless cleaning fluid, said to be
superior to anything on the market,
and the machinery for handling work
speedily. The cleaning fluid is used
at low temperature, with cold water
coils surrounding the "washer" and
passes through an extensive filtering
process to come back to the machine
free of sediment of any kind.
One of the big features of the
patented Band Box system is speed.
Five minutes from the time cloth
ing is put into it, it has been cleaned
and "extracted" to an almost dry
condition. A warm air drying sys
tem will complete the drying procees
in another five minutes, and clothing
is then ready to be pressed. It will
not be the aim of the management to
give such speedy service generally,
as there is frequently "spotting" to
be done and more thorough inspection
required, but it shows what can be
done when emergency demands.
Mr. Harris is advertising a spec
ial "speed" service for rural patrons,
who may bring their clothing in on
Wednesday or Saturday nights when
they come to town to shop and take
it back with them the same night,
completely cleaned and pressed.
He extends an invitation to the
public to call and see the new equip
ment in operation and see the class of
work that can be turned out with it.
