| TEXT | There is probably no line of business, in which there has been such great improvement in modern times, as in the laundry business. One of the latest improved and best in the city is that of the Anchor Steam Laundry, at No. 1009 N. Broadway. This splendid business was established by the present proprietor, Mr. R. N. Emerson, in 1885 and has met with a very liberal patronage ever since. He occupies two floors at the above number, 25x127 feet in size, and employs from thirty-five to forty people, using four washing machines, and nine ironing machines, all of the latest improved machinery, and has a capacity of 3,000 shirts per week with a proportionate number of collars and cuffs. He operates his machinery by a sixteen horse power engine, and has every convenience for the management of his large trade. He has branch offices at No. 819 Market street, No. 1322 N. Market street, and at No. 1509 Olive street, and three delivery wagons are kept busy constantly, delivering and collecting packages. Mr. Emerson was born in Louis county, Mo., and has been in St. Louis for the past fourteen years, being formerly in the employ of one of the large sawmills. He is a prominent member of the American Legion of Honor and is popular in business and social circles. |
