The uOld Way" The “Dresher Way" Take die Guesswork out of Cleaning/ When you intrust your cleaning and dyeing work to us you take the “guesswork” out of the operation —for we do not “guess,” we KNOW! We spent, in company with eight other leading cleaners in the U. S., over $40,000 in research in four years, in order to eliminate guesswork in cleaning and dyeing. We operate the most modern equip ment that money can buy; we employ only experienced and skilled operators in all departments; we accept a moral re sponsibility for the safe handling of all work intrusted to our care; your clothes are protected against fire and theft by insurance from the time we call for them until they are delivered to you. Consider these things and you will see WHY you should send ALL of your cleaning, dyeing, repairing and alteration work to us..
