Q: Should I have my
Cotton Shirts
Drycleaned?

A: “Cotton Is back.” This natural fiber
has become quite fashionable again, even vith:
out the added polyester for easy care. Alter
these years of easy care, you may not Wish to
return to the ironing board. Go ahead, buy the
all-cotton garments but send them to a profes-
sional drycleaner. They can handle all your cot-
ton articles.

Cotton garments dryclean beautifully, look
better, and stay fresh longer. We can even add
sizing to give your garment a crisp quality, If you
prefer,

‘You will find that the colors will look brighter,
The fabric does not lose the color as readily as
with washing, therefore, your dark colors look
better for a longer length of time.

Even your permanent press garments can be
drycleaned with good results. Any wrinkled per-
Manent press garment can be drycleaned and
Jook new without any ironing touch up.

Bring your cotton garments and articles for
drycleaning. They will look better, fresher and
brighter. Take the toning drudgery out of cotton
and enjoy this naturally cool fabric during the
summer, :
