In population during the last
decade created a demand lor
service Industries and com
mercial Institutions which
were capable of meeting in'
creased demands for service.
' R. A. Rawlinson, who has
been Identified with the laun
dry Industry in big wsy all
his lifetime, recogn.'zed this
fact when he acquired by pur
chase the Capital City Latin-
dry in KM. He spared no
expense in adding the latest
designed machinery, eon.
structing new additions to the
building and, installing a per
sonalized system of laundry
service. The result has been
that, today, Rawlinson's Capi
tal City Laundry is recognized
as one of the best equipped
plants in the entire section of
the nation. This statement is
suDoorted hv th (minion nf
I leading laundry executives in
the United States, who have
Inspected this plsnt
He surrounded himself
with loyal and Industrious
workers who are Intelligent
and interested in doing their
indlvidusl work ' well. Sixty
per cent of the personnel of
the Rawlinson s Capital City
Laundry are Salem home
owners and, as a group, ex
emplify refinement and cul
ture. Rawllnsoa Gives Due Credit
"Much of the credit for our
success In Salem csn be given
to our personnel and the In-
dividual Interest they have
displayed and put into their
work," was the proud state
ment of R. A. Rawlinson.
It Is almost a revelation to
view the interest displayed by
tne workers In this plant all
going about their Jobs with
smiles on their faces, fittingly
dressed, with no lost motion.
Contributing to this, of
; course, is the immaculate sur-
! rounding, and well planned
I positioi of every piece of
machinery,
In this day of commercial
I slogans one sometimes looks
i with askance at some of their
i claims. However, "Customed
! laundered shirts look bet-
! ter feel better fit bet
Iter," used by Rawlinson's
Capital City Laundry cannot
be questioned, because of the
way they are finished.
It was not too manv veara
ago that It required the work
of some 20 women to hand
finish the volume of shirts
done daily by this laundry.
The Formamatle Machine
This machine is named:
"Formatic." It is a Rawlin
son product and, universally
used by the larger laundries
in the nation. The pilot ma
chine was designed by George
H. Rawlinson and his son, R.
A. Rawlinson. It was made
in their own shop adjacent to
a laundry in Portland. The
pilot of the "Formatic" was
completed In 1934 and. the
i "bugs" ironed out by 1937. It
was then sold to the Ameri
can Laundry Machinery com
pany and put into manufac
ture. It actually does, in one
operation, what required a
few years ago, four opera
tions, or, in understandable
words, It has 400 per cent
more manpower.
The Rawlinson's Capital
City Laundry is today a Sa
lem Industry confining its
services to the residents of the
city of Salem. Five regular
are operated daily. . Walk-in,
specially designed (rucks are
in charge of courteous delivery-salesmen.
These walk-in
trucks enable the delivery
salesmen to save one-minutes
of time per-stop. Making an
average of 60 stops per day
he actually saves one-hour of
working time. The five routes
cover the city like a blanket
There ere five economical
laundry services offered,
which include a dry-wash, a
pillow-case bundle, (all the
flat work .that can be stuffed
Into a pillow case): family
economy service, the com
plete finished bundle, and a
linen supply service for the
commercial -and- industrial
firms ol Salem. . There is an
economical laundry service
that can meet eny budget end,
each aervie haa the feme
quality work.
The wearing aparel, used In
the Linen Supply service, is
the property of the laundry
and include cover-alls a n d
other .suplies. - These soiled
linens are changed regularly
with clean replacements and
an economical charge for the
service Is made on a monthly
basis.
Building Has Been Expanded
The main portion of the
present plsnt, 1204 Broad
way, was built in 1930 and,
designed to do laundry work
for a population of 20,000
people the total residents of
Salem at that tim One of
the first moves of R. A. Raw
linson was made in 19S1 by
adding a warehouse for sup
plies embracing 2,000 square
feet of floor space. The fol
lowing year the dry cleaning
department was expanded by
4,000 additional squsre-feet of
floor space. This relieved the
conffeatlnn rjerasinnft rv fh
Increased volume of business '
Mr. Rawlinson has lived In 1
a laundry environment since
the days when he toddled
around the machinery in the
plant operated by his father,
George H. Rawlinson, In Port
land. Finishing his bssie edu
cation in the Portland public
schools, he completed a two
year course at the Ohio Me
chanics Institute in Cincinna
ti. Ohio, in 1928. He then
joined his father In the op
eration of the Portland laun
dry plsnt. With the excep
tion of the time from 1943 to
1950, he has been Intimately
associated with the laundry
industry.
During that interim R. A.
Rawlinson served over three
years with .he U.S. Navy as
a lieutenant assigned to duty
on an APA (advanced person
nel attack) boat, in the South
Pacific theater. Following his
honorable discharge in 1946
he owned and operated a cat
tle ranch in the Wallowas, In
eastern Oregon until he dis
posed of it and purchased the!
Capital City Laundry. Mr. I
Rawlinson is today president j
of the Oregon Laundry Own-1
ers association and has served i
as president rf the Northwest
Cleaners and Dyers associa
tion.

people employed by the Capi
tal City Laundry, creating an
annual payroll of more than
$130,000. The nationally
known Sanitone system of dry
cleaning Is maintained as a
major department.
