| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Laundry work is not exactly manufacturing, but from its machinery requirements is properly classed in that line. The Columbia Steam Laundry has a ten-horse power engine and twenty-horse boiler. It was established by Marshall & Marshall some two years since, and run successfully for a time, but the outfit which had cost $3.000 was finally
sold to Mr. Fr. Schmidt, the owner of the building, and has been leased by various parties since that time. Mrs. P. H. Joyner, the last incumbent, has met with very fair success, but her lease expires the first of next month, and the proprietor has recently advertised for an experienced manager to take charge April 11th, when every effort will be put forth to do strictly first class work. The machinery comprises the modern outfit of reversible washer, suction
wringer, starchers, ironers, collar turner and curler, steam drying, and everything for complete work. A mending department will also be added, which will prove a great convenience to transients. A new wagon is just being finished, Mr. S. is a German who located here since the war, and wdio, by industrious habits, has gained a competency owning a
grocery store and a number of cottages in the First Ward. The Laundry has a fine well of pure soft water at hand, which is a great auxilary to that kind of work. |
