THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThe American Steam Laundry Company is without doubt the largest concern of the kind in St. Louis. The company was organized and incorporated in 1886, since when an immense patronage has been secured. The president is Mr. J. A. Spoore, who is superintendent of the Wagner Palace Car Co. of Chicago, and resides in that city. Mr. K. E. Morgan is the manager and devotes his entire energies to the business. The establishment occupies the ground floor and basement, each 40x120 feet of the building at Twenty-first and Morgan streets, and is equipped with a 100 horse-power steam engine and 150 horsepower boiler, seven of the latest improved washing machines, besides many ironing machines, extractors, etc., and turns out a vast amount of superior work. Thirty to thirty-five skilled operatives are employed, and three delivery wagons kept constantly busy. The American is what is known as a plain linen laundry and does work for railroad companies, steamboats, hotels, restaurants, and families' washing and ironing: Spreads, sheets, pillow slips, hand towels, roller towels, glass towels, dish towels, tablecloths, napkins, aprons, chair covers, jackets, caps, doyleys, blankets, etc. Mr. Morgan, the manager of this concern, is a native of New York. He is an enterprising, thorough business man, and his personal popularity and reliable business methods have given the company its enviable prestige and remunerative and steadily increasing patronage.
