THEMABeschreibung
TEXTFor turning out first-class work it is safe to say that no laundry in St. Louis is better equipped than Dustin's, located at 1015-1017 Pine street. Mr. F. W. Dustin who was born in Erie, Pa., has resided in St. Louis for nearly a quarter of a century and in 1869 established the Telegraph Steam Laundry which he conducted until 1885 when he adopted the present name and removed to the very desirable premises now occupied comprising a building 45x109 feet in area. The laundry is fully equipped in all departments with special appliances, apparatus and machinery driven by a new thirty horse power steam engine. Upward of forty skilled hands are employed who are under careful supervision and all work turned out is done in a careful manner. The specialty is family laundry and no pains are spared to render satisfaction. Particular attention is given to laundrying. Fine and delicate fabrics, lace curtains etc., are laundered in a superior style, also shirts, collars and in no instance are the fabrics injured either by the use of chemicals or careless handling. Collars and cuffs are laundried at twenty cents per dozen and all work in proportion. Branch offices are maintained at 723 Chouteau avenue, 1021 Franklin avenue, 1112 Morgan street, 108 S. Sixth street, 1811 Franklin 3321 Olive street and East St. Louis. Wagons call for and deliver work in any part of the city and the best service is always assured. Telephone call 4162. This splendid laundry, one of the largest and most prominent in the city, is ably conducted and managed and the best evidence of its popularity is the large first-class patronage with which it is favored. Mr. Dustin owns some very desirable real estate in St. Louis, among which may be mentioned the business premises he occupied as a laundry at 1015 and 1017 Pine street. Mr. Dustin contemplates building a fine private residence in W. Pine street this spring, which is unquestionably one of the most desirable locations in St. Louis.
