Snowy White Dainty Clothes
Are Troy Laundered Clothes
If we could take you through our modem
plant, flooded with sunshine and scrupulously
clean, with its immaculately dressad workers ;
if we could show you how thoroughly each gar
ment is laundered and inspeetedour close atten
tion to the small details that really make the
laundered garment and some of the refreshing
ly white, snowy clothes that leave this laundry
—you would not hesitate long in sending your
clothes here.
A single trial will prove a revelation in how
clothes really should be laundered.
A phone call will bring our wagon the same
day.
