W. Johnson and George B. Nelson. These directors will in turn elect offi- cers for the coming year. The present officers are, President, Charles Anda; and seeretary-treasurer, Otis Thomp- son. Eyen the directors of the company had failed to realize the size of this Casper industry until they heard the reports for the year Tuesday, and paid a visit to the plant yesterday after- noon, The Casper Laungry employs 75 peo- ple at the present e and its pay roll for 1919 was $64,080. It occupies ap- proximately 10,000} feet of floor space and with $100,000 rth of equipment the plant represents an investment of $200,000. Although several additions were made to the plant last year it is still not large enough and a further addition will be built this year on a lot to the east of the present building. The most: machinery for the handling of clothes is contained in the building. A special feature is the refinite which softens all the water used in washing, absolutely removing- all alkali and leaving the water as soft as rainwater. Four automobile trucks are used by the company to collect and doliver and it is probable that the articles washed in a year number more than a million. The entire interior of the work rooms is painted. a snowy white, and the visitor to the plant is impressed by the-care with which the clothes are handled, and the marvelous perfection of the devices used. , After being received and marked, the clothing goes through the washers. It is then placed in perforated tubs in the extractor, which, instead of wringing the garments extracts the water by centrifugal force, the tubs being whirled until the cloths are nearly dry and ready for ironing. A giant tumbler is used for under- wear, Turkish towels and such mate- rials, and this shakes them free of lint in the drying process, leaving them soft and fluffy and ready for folding. The various devices in the ironing room are too intricate for description and need to be seen to be appreciated. Visitors are welcomed at any time to the plant, the officers state, On the second floor of the building occupied by the laundry are apart- ments used by the employes, and the plant also has a lunch room where cof- fee and cream are furnished, and where’ the employés may prevare thelr own lunches if they so desire.
