By E
G. H.
Plagues have devastated the world
since the year one. Kecau that
famous speech of Pericles, wherein
he makes touching mention of the
plague at Athens in which he lost his
only son. The Medieval Ages wore
periods of plague. In the Fourt
teenth Century, fifteen cities of Con
tinental Europe lost three hundred
thousand souls. Two centuries later,
London was visited with a dread
pestilence and death was so common
a thing that men went through the
streets droning in hoar3e monotone,
''Bring out your dead, bring out your
dead."
The short of the whole matter was
dirt did it. The problem then is to
banish dirt. Years ago Frater West
hoff took to the field against dirt.
He started out to educate the people
I about the advantages of a modern
laundry. We might say that accord
ing to the last reports issued by the
National Laundry Association which
held its annual meeting last summer,
that this business has over one hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars
invested and the gross receipts are
over a hundred and fifty million dol
lars. One big laundry in New York

has a turtle for its trademark. This
turtle is on the stationery, tags, cards,
wagons. Under the turtle are the
words, "Slow and careful." Wouldn't
you trust a concern like that? Bless
your soul, Madame, of course you
would.
When I entered the laundry of
Frater Westhoff I was most impres
sed by the sight of so much machin
ery. Few laundries have any ma
chines that are not here. The clothes
are first sorted, the white goods in
one lot and the colored and lamuy
wash into others. The new goods are
marked and are then taken to the
rotary washers. There are two of
these. These machines have an al
ternating movement which keeps the
clothes from tangling. The water is
boiling hot and contains a liquid soap.
This soap is the best grade that
money can buy and comes in the flake
form which is changed to the liquid
by a regular soap boiler which Mr.
Westhoff has.
The clothes are-then placed in a
revolving drum or drying machine.
This dryer or wringer is made by the
American Company and revolves
eighteen hundred times a minute.
I he clothes that need blueing are
blued. Those which need starching
are placed in a starching machine.
There is a small churn for the collars
and cuffs.
The articles to be ironed are now
ironed. A machine irons collars and
cuffs in a few seconds. Shirt fronts
are ironed on another machine and in
a phort time. Large table covers and
other large pieces are placed in a large
mangle with eight foot rollers. The
more particular pieces are done by
hand. There are four individual
ironing stands for this work and a
regular gtove constructed for the
HOTEL
heating of irons.
I There is a large drying room into
which two standards can be placed,
This room is heated by steam and
clothes dry in from ten to twenty
minutes. Mr. Westhoff operates his
machinery by steam power furnished
by his own plant.
All work is called for and delivered
by the wagon which is provided for
this service. Lexington nnd other
small towns send weekly baskets to
Hoppner. The expense of a laundry
here is greater than in many places
as it costs more to soften the water
in order to turn out first class work.
Four women and two men are em
ployed in the laundry. They all re
ceive wages that keep the wolves in
the mountains and when I noted the
sign "Safety First" I involuntary let
loose of my shirt buttons for I had
always been told thut laundries were
built to break buttons.
I.aumliios of any nature have but
one thing to sell and that's service.
It is fact that as men increase in
.mentality, they become stricklirs for
clean linen. Prosperous, intelligent
people wear clean clothes. Poverty
and filth go together they aie the
Siamese twins. A noted alienit said
recently, "The first symptom of in-
' sanity, especially with women, mani
fests itself in an indifference and an
inattention to personal cleanliness.
Clean clothes spell sanity."
Mr. Westhoff is a man who has in
vested hi money in Heppner, he be
lieves in Heppner and has an institu
tion which is worthy of our support.
For your health' sake drop your
soiled linen into your laundry ban.
I ra Westhoff will do the ret. You
will le agreeably surprised. Dirt,
disease, and sickness are on the de-
at your
clir.e thanks to the laundries.
