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?
