a Mas Iju-co Capacity
' " The Institution in ft new lor
- cation and with its additional
equipment 'has about double' the
capacity' of the old plant, and with
- practically the same force "of em
' ployees. There are now 30 people
on the pay roll. The ' work" now
being turned out-would nave tak
en at least 60 under the old meth
ods, - and 'would not have: been
: done asi well by any means." With
very few-changes, f and without
doubling jihe present force; twice
the .present volume of : work' can
t be done in the present location. -".
There are nine ! washing ma
chines, large and small, and" three
extractors. There! are. fourteen
different, kinds . ot ironing ina-
chines,' besides six hand irons.

-The workers in the Salem Laun
. dry company's hew! home keep aa
neat, and clean as those employed
; in office' work, ' or " store work.
The steam is - bought from the
Portland Electric Power, company
and is metered into the new build
ing. This steam is used In heat
ittp all; the water and all the fron-
, ing machines.- The; steam is under
control,' so that it - is condensed
and then used in washing.! Thus
-' the purest; kind of fwater Is secur
ed; as pure as rain water; purer.
In .fact,' for there are always par
ticles of -dust in the air. Every
bit; of water used for suds would
be fit to drink. ,'4 ; " f
V And .how about the soap? ' it
is 100 per cent pure. -; Absolutely.
It Is made by Proctor & Gamble,
ho , make Ivory soag. . There is
Absolutely ' no alkali in the 'soap
used in this laundry. It is made
from escolite, whlch is, free from
alkali an, other elements injurious
to the fabric of clothing of aay
