SUMMER THOUGHTS
COME ALL AT ONCE
Hundreds Call Dreshert on Thursday
A. M. and Demand That Hati and
Garments Be Cleaned in Time
For Sunday Wear.
Panama Hals Were Never So Numer.
oui and Dresners Have Never Be
fore Gotten So Many For a
Cleaning and Blocking.
Doesn't it beat all how folk will .
procrastinate? Every man and woman
in Omaha knew that hot weather was
about to come, and that their last
summer's clothes would have to be
gotten in shape for wear this season;
nicely cleaned, pressed and repaired,
etc. And what did everybody do?
Why, delayed matters, of course, un
til the very last moment
Take, for instance, on Thursday
last, On that day hundreds upon hun
dreds of Omahans awakened to the
fact that the weather was hot. They
looked up their last year's lighter
weight clothes and found that they
were in no condition to be worn.
Dresher Brothers, the immense Dry
Cleaners and Dyers at 2211-2217 Far
nam street, were of course immed
iately thought of and hundreds upon
hundreds of those procrastinating
Omahans all ohoned in at once. They
said something like this: "Oh, I for
got to have those clothes cleaned and
pressed earlier, but I really MUST
have 'em to wear next Sunday."
That, of course, had to be, and the
consequence was that Dreshers had
the busiest siege of their career, try
ing to get the work out. But the
Dresher facilities are great, met the
strain, and everybody is happy, for
they will all be wearing their cleaned
clothes Sunday.
Panama hats came in by hundreds.
Omahans know that Dreshers do a
superb job of cleaning and blocking
Panamas. Dreshers will clean, block
and retrim a Panama hat for only
$1.65. Dreshers at this price put on
even a new outside band, new inside
leather, and even the little silk oil
sweat pad inside. Of course this
gives you a NEW Panama hat, to all
intents and purposes.
Dreshers not only clean Panama
hats, but any other kind of hat worn
by men, women and chjldren. See
their hat department man before you
discard that last year's hat.
Phone Tyler 345 for a Dresher man
