    1 he Most Complete Plant of Its Kind in the West
(
k
ERVICE and efficiency have become so
important in the business world that
an establishment without them is one
of the laggards. The business where
service is a prominent part of the
goods offered the customer is sure
to please in many ways; whereas the
business with good goods and poor service fails.
To most people there is nothing that disgusts so
quickly as slow, lazy clerks who seem intent only
on. getting through with the work of the day.
This class of employes does nothing toward pro
moting good service and efficiency in a business.
They lose business for an establishment. Because ...
high-class service and pure efficiency are such rare
assets in the business world of today (though 4he
cry is for service and efficiency), It is well worth'
recording the facts when an establishment is found
that combines these two qualities.
Service the Watchword
One who enters the dyeing and cleaning estab
lishment of Dresner Bros., 2211-2213 farnani
street, is immediately impressed with the high
class Bervice that this firm offers. It cannot es
cape notice, for the Dreshers have organized their
business on an efficiency and service basis that
demands praise. The office of the firm is,
equipped with e'very convenience for giving mani
fold atention to the needs ot customers. Well
trained young women behind the counter give at
tention to all orders, whether: these come by tele
phone or are delivered in person. These young
women are so accurate and so attentive to all or
ders that there are few chances for errors.
When garments are brought into the Dresher
establishment by the drivers, who visit all parts
of the city, theyrare checked by a systematic plan
that prevents their loss or their delay in being dis
patched to completion. The name of the owner of
each garment, the address, the. work to be done
and the time when it is to be completed are placed
on the garment, a large safety pin holding the slip
of paper to the goods. All these garments when
brought to the Dresher . plant are In cloth bags.
Drivers always "bag" garments when they go after
them, this device preventing their being soiled in
any way while they are being hauled to the plant.
Each customer's order is bagged separately.
Large canvas baskets are used for depositing
these garments in after they have been checked.
These blankets are so made that no piece of cloth
ing," no matter how delicate the fabric, will be in
jured while being carried in these receptacles.
After the clothes have been placed in the baskets
they, are examined carefully for valuables, which
often are found In the pockets of trousers and.
coats. The Dreshers declare that the number of
clothes that are sent to the cleaning plant with
money in the pockets is remarkable.
Quick Delivery Assured
In order to assure delivery to the right resi
dence and to prevent delay three blanks are made
out. with the name of the owner, his residence, the
kind of garment and the price of the work. The
driver who delivers this order takes two of the
blanks, leaving one at the residence of the owner
when the goods are delivered and marking the
order paid, when it is paid. The driver keeps the
other blank and returns it to the plant to show
that he has made the delivery. . The clerk in the
delivery department at the cleaning establishment
retains the third blank. ' '
This explanation of the checking system shows
how careful the Dreshers are to see that all goods
- are p'roperly handled. This plan makes for the
highest kind of efficiency, but it is only one of the
many the Dreshers have taken in order to make
their .plant a leader. In the office on the main
floor they have arranged fitting rooms, where cus
tomores may enter and have measurements taken
for the alteration of garments. These are pretty
little rooms, nicely appointed. It is just another
instance of the excellent service that the Dreshers
furnish their customers.
The writer of this article had passed the
Dresher establishment many times, but never had
gone through the plant, and he supposed that the
establishment was an ordinary dyeing and cleaning
place; but he was mistaken, for the plant is one of
the largest and best equipped in the west. It prob
ably has western competitors that are larger,
slightly, but it has none that are more completely
equipped for handling the business that comes to
a place of this kind.
More than 14,000 feet of floor space are' util
ized by the Dreshers. Their plant on Farnam
street is crowded with modern devices and con
veniences for handling the business. Every new
machine that has been demonstrated as being of
service to a dyeing and cleaning plant is in the
Dresher establishment. The Dreshers the liveli
est bunch of young fellows that is engaged in this
business west of Chicago are on the alert at all
times for new devices and plans that will improve
their business. They do not rest with what they
have and let the world march on. They are pro
gressive and keep step with every pace made by
inventions in their line.
Always Progressing
When the writer went through the plant last
week he discovered one of the brothers in a se
cluded part of the building with four books at
hand. He was pouring over one of these. All of
them pertained to the dyeing and cleaning busi
ness, and the young man was seeking information
as to new processes that would benefit the plant.
There is not a book pertaining to the business car
ried on by the Dreshers that is not contained In
the library theBe young men own. All the trade
magazines arrive here regularly. The Dreshers
want to be at the top and they do not permit any
opportunity to slip away.
The Dresher Bros, take pride in their work,
and they guarantee to give satisfaction wherever
it is possible to furnish it. They do not care how
well made the garments may be or how delicate
the material they are so careful with all of their
work and handle the most costly of dresses so well
that no possible damage could be done them. Some
of the most costly gowns in Omaha aro sent here
for repairs, for alterations and for cleaning The
writer saw one expensive dress that had been
cleaned; the fabric was extremely delicate and it
did not seem that such a garment could be cleaned,
yet the Dreshers had worked over this dress so
carefully that they had sent it out looking as good
as new. It is remarkable the fine work this plant
can do. , ,
Do AU Good Work
Dreshers clean and dye everything that can be
cleaned, pressed or dyed. All wearing apparel
and ell house furnishing goods, such as draperies,
curtains, portieres and rugs, are handled here.
Many home furnishings became dirty and soiled
and look extremely bad. They are put in shape
for at least another season of service by the Dresh
ers; they are cleaned, brightened and made to look
as good as new.
Silk,' satin and woolen dresses, tea gowns, opera
cloaks, plain and fancy waists, skirts, sacques,
cloaks and wraps are returned as new without the
alteration of a single piece of trimming, without
the ripping of a seam or the removal of the lining.
The magnitude of the Dresher plant impresses
one with the capacity of this progressive firm for
doing the best work. The lower floor of the main
building contains the offices, receiving and deliv
ering. The receiving office occupies the left halt
of the double building. Here are located the desk .
of the manager, the receiving counter, the tele
phone slwtchboard, the fitting booths and the
checking and examining departments. In the
right half of the building is the delivery depart
ment; here on removal racks are placed all the
garments after they have been finished. Hundreds
of them are here every day. The drivers place
their own garments in the large paper bags aud
fill their own wagons. The garments are ar
ranged on racks as to the days of delivery. The
driver takes his order, places the garment on a
holder; the paper bag is placed at the top of the
holder, which is drawn .up toward the ceiling on a
pulley, the bag being pulled down over the garment
very easily, while the holder Is in the air. A di-,
rect downward draw slips the bag over the garment
very neatly.
In a little office which is located between the
two- main floor rooms, and at the front of the build
ing, are the cashiers and bookkeepers. This ar
rangement permits people in both rooms to have
access to the attention of the people in the little
office.
Interesting Place Here
The second floor of the main building, where
more than forty men and women work, is given
over to the altering and pressing of clothes. In
the front end of the large room on this floor are
many irons and devices, heated by electricity, for
pressing clothes and for shaping them. In the
center of the room a large force of people are busy
with alterations and repairs. At the back end of
the room are the "steam-heated pressing machines,
where clothes are rapidly and effectively pressed.
A special elevator permits the garments to be sent
below from this floor on holders that are removed
downstairs and stacked for the drivers to take away
to the owners.
At the rear of the main room of the main floor
is what is known as the "scouring" room. Here
all clothes that are so dirty they cannot be dry
cleaned are scoured. The owners ot these gar
ments are notified that the ordinary methods ot
cleaning will not do and permission is asked to
scour the clothes.
The annex building contains many pieces ot
interesting machinery. Seven washers are located
here. Colored, black, gray and white clothes are
placed in separate washers and cleaned in gasoline.
Two layers of brushes, one below the clothes and
one above, take out the dirt as the machinery re
volves. The very delicate fabrics are placed in
sacks before they are put into the washers. This
plan assures safety to this class of garments. After
the clothes are removed from the washer they aro
placed in a large machine known as an extractor;
this device takes the gasoline out of the garments;
then the clothes are placed in a dryer that removes
all fumes and thoroughly dries the clothing. After
the garments are put through this gasoline-cleaning
process they are sent to the pressing depart
ment of the big plant.
Hundreds of Gloves
On the day the writer visited the plant there
were hundreds of pairs of gloves in the glove room:
of the establishment. These articles are cleaned
by being placed in a solution and thoroughly
brushed out; they then are dried on a steam table.
One section of the annex is given over to a larga
number of vats in which clothing is dyed. The
dyeing department of the Dresher plant is very
large and is in charge of an expert. Probably the
most thoroughly satisfactory dyeing in the middle
west is done in the DreBher plant. x
All the latest machinery for pumping gasoline
into the various cleaning devices, and for removing
it and taking the dirt out of it so that it may be
used again, is in use here. ,
One of the most interesting machines In the
plant is the large cylinderical device in which rugs
are cleaned through being washed with gasoline.
Before the rugs are placed in this machine they
are beaten in the rug room, where a special .device ,
docs the work in rapid time. , The rugs are laid
on a large table and a long bar with many strips
of leather attached revolves rapidly, the strips
striking and thoroughly dusting the rugs. After
the rugs have been beaten and placed in the
washer they are brightened and given a rich glow
through being placed on a steam table. Many
oriental ruga that had been used for many months
were seen on the day the writer visited the plant,
and they looked fully as fine as new rugs.
Best Plant in West
It is of little use, however, to gve the technical
side of the plant. It is sufficient to say that the'
Dresher Bros, have one of the best dyeing and J
cleaning establishments in the country. Visitors
to this plant have told the managers that they have1
never seen a more completely equipped institution.
There are plants which are larger, but even these'
larger ones do not have any better machinery nor
are they any better equipped for carrying on, the
work than the Dreshers, who have placed, every
modern invention in their plant.
This plant is only two years old, and is now one
of the leaders in the country. More than eighty
people are employed here, and not a single one ot '
them is permitted to sluff on the Job. Visitors to ;
this place see everyone in a business mood. The
girls in the main office, as well as the people in
the pressing room, are like bees everywhere is
bustle and efficiency. '.
Because the trade of the flcm is so large six
delivery wagons and two delivery automobiles are,
in service all the time. Just at present a-thirdj
motor wagon is being used, and it probably will be'
added to the regular delivery service in order that)
the Dreshers may keep up their high standard of!
efficiency and service. t ,
The business of the Dreshers is not confined to j
Omaha; they have customers all over Nebraska
who send them work regularly. In addition to
the Omaha and other Nebraska business they get
orders from all over the middle west; they even
have done work that has been sent to Germany.
It is more than a local institution, it Is national.
It is growing, too, and growing so fast that the
outlook is brilliant for a new plant, should the
business become so large that even additions to
the present plant will hot be euffieient to let th'
Dreshers take care of all their trade. ' '
Pleased to Have Visitors " ;
i ,
The Dresher BroB. are pleased to have visitors
come to their plant. They take pride in showing
them through the various roams. They realize
that people who pass the plant on Farnam street
do not know the magnitude of the business done
here nor realize the completeness of the plant " It
people ot Omaha could realize Just how thoroughly
good la all the work done here and could Bee how
the Dreshers are, at all times, looking out tor new
devices to improve their plant, it would not be
long until, they would have to enlarge their plant
to double its Blze. The trade is growing rapidly
all the time and the chances are that within a
short time this condition will come about. The
DreBhers are Omaha boys boys who have been
raised here and who are among Omaha's best
boosters and business men. The fact that they
are in the tailoring business, too, makes them well
fitted to conduct the cleaning establishment, tor
they know JuBt what to do with all garments in
order to nut them in the best condition possible.

Is famous for its beautiful singing; It
is composed largely but not entirely of
students, and the advanced Btudenta of
Mr. Kelly get their routine and experience
In solo work here which flta them for
actual work when they get positions else
where. From this cholr-loft many good
Singers have gone into the musical world
and some are now doing solo work in
prominent churches in Minneapolis. Salt
Iake City, California, New York and
Manila, Philippine island, while several
of the best paying church poaitkms in
Omaha are held and hsiVe been held by
pupils of Mr. Kpliy. Sne years ago Mr.
Kelly found that it would V8 necessary
for him to give up his 'orfan work, which
MAX PAVSJl.
he enjoyed very much, in order to give
more attention to his voice and song
recital wtrk, and Martin Bush, the well
known organist, was engine;! by Mr.
Kelly to nsjilfct In church work by assum
ing the duties of organist, leaving him
free to sing with the choir and to con
duct It at rehearsals from every point of
the large auditorium of the church, brlng
imr out the finer points of excellence.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have i given many
times their wondrful program of Irish
songs, one of the best collections of old
gems of that richest of all folk-literature,
and a few seasons ago they were invited
to present It at the Chicago university
which they did with great success. They
have touched It up still further and will
do It frequently In the future. The suc
cess of the program entitled "Sham
rocks," led them to work out a recital
with explanatory talks, a species of
lccture-recltaJ on "Folk Song," which
is a program that has taken years of
work and Is one which those who hav
heard It, pronounce exceptionally In
teresting. It will be given before the Tuesday
Morning Musical club early this season,
probably In November, and It Is expected
that It will be given In a downtown
auditorium In order to accommodate the
large number who would probably be
interested In' hearing It. Mr. and Mrs.
Kelly huve also arranged with Mica
iivelyn Hopper to manage a recital such
as they gave two seasons ago at the
Young Women's Christian, association
auditorium and this will take place In
January It Is expected. (
Martin W. Bush, after returning from
a vacation spent on the Minnesota lakes
and In various eastern cities, has re
opened his studio in the Baldrlgn block,
where he will continue his teaching of
piano harmony and ear training, as well
us weekly ensemble classes for Bight read
ing. He also announces a piano recital
later in the fall in which he will play
several novelties new to local audiences.
In talking over plans for the ensuing
season, Jean Duffleld says that he will
continue his cutttom of giving one or
more public pupils' recitals, and that he
Is already preparing two of hlfi more ad
vanced fttudents, Miss Helen Bennett and
Henry Iotz, for individual recitals In the
near future. These are to be. of course, in
addition to the student gatherings of a
more prlvati nature which occur from
time to time ii the studio. Mr Duffleld
is plainly a firm believer In he princplo
that those engaged In the Bame pursuit
should associate together that friendly
competition acts as a keen stimulant to
Individual efforfr-that the ubtle condi
tion lenown as 'musical attpoRphere" is
generated by an association ot those woo
are. common and willing captives at the
feet ot "music, heavenly maid "
In. regard to his own public activities,
Mr. Duffl td states that he expects to
be moio In demand as an accompanist
tnuii in any previous aeaaon, but that,
deHplte the many and undeniable attrac
tion! of at'uompanylur, he hopes to find
more time than heretofore for sol play
ing, that being MitumJIv tlio flint ambi

over muCi interested in a program which
he Is prepartn for tne Woman's club to
be given some ttme IN February and
which will oe devoted to a consideration

We'd like to sell you a stamp or
a postal card. We'd like to tell
you the time, help you find an ad
dress, lend you a pen or pencil,
oblige you with a "light," give,
you a seat while you wait for s
car or, in any conceivable way,
make this store of service to you.'
Come in and "Just look about'
If you're waiting for somebody.
There are lots of things to look
at nothing that you'll feel any
obligation to buy unless the obli
gation is wholly to yourself. r
