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..

I AFTER BREAKFAST
! V
AFTER breakfast the mother sends her little daughter off
. to school. She does her housework. She takes care of
her baby. And—she is happy!
5 To a great extent, a woman's happiness depends upon her
health. If she is troubled with ailments common to women,
she should seek relief from her suffering immediately.
15 In the following letter Mrs. Fuller tells how she improved
her health and by so doing increased her happiness.
= ^ “I have used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
| Compound and found it has improved my health
j wonderfully. For months and months I was not ^ .
! regular and had terrible pains. They used to at- EE3
B ! tea my side so I could not work. 1 kept a girl
at that time. 1 read of others being helped hv
