Tumble White TUMBLE WHITE- Kinds of Prices THis is a service which we huve originated for those who wish to put the burden of the family washing upon tht LAUNDRY, but for one reason or another do not care to avail themselves of our ROUGH DRY or FINISHED FAMILY SERVICE. IN our TUMBLE WHITE service we will take your white goods, and any other colors that you care to have washed with your whites, wash them and dry them in our TUMBLER. YOUR goods will be washed by themselves, without marking, dried soft and fluffy and returned the next day after they are taken. AS we are making the price on TUMBLE WHITE as low as pos sible, we require the customer to furnish a laundry-bag of un bleached muslin. We will both collect and deliver in this bag, and so save paper, twine and wrapping. This bag will be washed each time. WE will collect in that part of town south of the hospital road, Villa Park and Terrace Heights, on Thursdays and Saturdays; East-side and Riverside Tuesdays and Fridays; and the central part of town Mondays and Wednesdays. BY a little planning, the use of white cotton undergarments, white hosiery, light colored dresses, etc., you can send your entire fam ily wash in the TUMBLE WHITE bag.
