WHAT OTHERS THINK OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD INDUSTRIES Edholm and Sherman, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sirs: Although I realized, during all the lyears I sent mu things to you, that you were, without qualification, the best in the city . . . I’ve discovered since moving to Cleveland, that you’re probably the best in the country. The cleaning situation here is enough to make you tear your hair. The service is terrible • . . you never can get anything back under four da;«s (Mr. Sharp says they wear the things firstp . . . the pr.ces are aw ful . . . but worse than that, the cleaning itself is absolutely lousy. A new blue satin dinner dress that I had worn just once, came back from “the best place in town”, absolutely ruined, by ten thousand tiny pulled threads. i think they pressed it on the right side, all except the back of it, where they completely ignored the matter of pressing the button-holes at all. Oh, I could go on for hours, but what I’m getting at is, that I hope, in spite of my apparent indifference to the money I owe you, my credit can be reinstated . . . because I think l shall have to send my things home to you. Sincerely and appreciatively yours, Ann Pearsall Sharp, 2580 Overlook Road, Cleveland Heights Cleveland, Ohio.
