SIPOE NEWS By BOB AND JOE NOW IS THE TIME TO CLEAN LAST SUMMER'S THINGS It's just plain cussidness "human nature," if you want to call it that but most of us are careless when it comes to cleaning a garment after we're through wearing it for a season. Last summer's clothes by the dozen are hanging right now in many closets. Now is the time to clean them. They should have, of course, been cleaned last year when you were through with them. Then wrapped to keep dust off. They'd be ready to war and less detriorated too. So before telling you how to clean last summer's things, may we recommend you bring this winter's clothes to us and have them cleaned before you put them away for summer? And when it comes to dry cleaning of last summer's clothes, we recommend you bring them to us. Tell us that the garment hasn't been cleaned since last summer. That way we'll take the necessary corrective steps to put it back in shape. To 'do it yourself even if you wanted to would require too lengthy a technical explanation. - So why not avoid all that and bring both this past sea son's things as well as last summer's clothes right now, and let us do it for you?
