F. Wesely, chief of the Research Department of Manhat- tan Laundry. Mr. Wesely attributes a large part of the Manhattan Laundry’s success to their Net Bag System of washing. Manhattan Laundry adopted the Net Bag for washing clothes six years ago. Clothes, they agreed, could be washed just as clean in net bags and would wear longer if rubbing and scrubbing were eliminated. Manhattan's famous Net Bag Sysy, tem of washing, as described by Mr. Wesely, follows: First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material and placed in individual net bags which bear the customer’s name and contain only that customer’s ar- ticles. Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subjected to the gentle cleans- ing action of swirling hot suds which penetrate each garment and loosen every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps and soft, filtered water are used, after first having been inspected and tested by the Research Department. Many rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every trace of dirt from the clothes and leaving the fabrics refreshed and clean, They are then dried, starched where necessary and ironed by the most modern methods. That clothes wear longer and look better when washed in Net Bags has been proven by test after test. For instance, two shirts, exactly the same, were washed fifty times each, one in a Met. 2062 net bag, the other by hand. At the end of the test the net-bag washed shirt showed absolutely no signs of wear, while the hand-washed shirt had become a sad combination ef rough edges, torn seams and broken buttons. Other tests on all Sorts of wearing apparel are being carried on regularly and in every case show the Net Bag System to be far superior in preserving the original sheen of the eloth, At Manhattan the Nets Get the Wear and the Clothes Get the Wash. Enthusiastic Customer Praises Net Bag System 3T In a recent letter to the ManBattal Laundry Mrs. E. R. D. writess “ o o« o But the one actual fact that pleases me most is that the -lothes do not show as much wear as they did when I had my laundry done at home. . . . Itis indeed a pleasure to recommend Fou. ¢ « This letter is typical of the many received by attan from satisfied customers throughout the District of Columbia and Virginia.
