The Home Beautiful
A HOME must be attractive to be a "real home.''
To be such and to fill all the demands required
of it makes it imperative that draperies, curtains, rugs,
hangings, linens and furnishings must be spotlessly
clean.
The easiest and best way is to send
all your curtains, draperies, etc., to us to
be cleaned.
The cost is nothing compared with the satisfaction
and pride gained in having them look like you want
them and your friends expect them to look. For when
they come to see you, naturally they remark about the
order and cleanliness of your home furnishings.
Try our Laundry and Dry Cleaning
department and be convinced. You'll be
agreeably surprised at the results.
Yours for the "Home Beautiful,"

IS IT TRUE?
Two members of the Board of County Commi-s,oners at; their official
organ edited uy J. L. Tullis, have attacked the financial man:, inent of 'he
County Superintendent's office—they have been misinformed r do not "-ant
