As Christmas approached, it was our desire to remember the thousands of Seattle housewives who have been our patrons during the past year. But no material token, we felt, could ade- quately express our feelings. We decided, therefore, to do some- thing useful and worth’ while—some- thing that would really be of benefit and lasting worth to the women of Seattle. So, beginning with January First, we will dedicate our plant from thence- forth solely and exclusively to family laundry work. After that date we will no longer serve hotels, restaurants, business houses or steamship lines, but will concentrate on perfecting an ex- clusive service to the home. New ps 9 gr and methods are now being ded that will make our plant the most. up-to-date and modern in the West. This, then, is our present to house- wives for 1921 and on: An exclusive laundry service of the highest order for them only. A hag Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
