THE PROBLEM OF CLOTHES.

CROTHALL WAY EXPLAINED. Clothes may not make the man, but the self-conlidence and the increased respect of others to be derived from a well-cared-for appearance are not to bo despised and are worthy of more consideration than they frequently receive. How often the accentuated personality of the well-groomed man is responsible for his success, while the careless man remains in a rut, is probably not fully realised.

The care of the clothes does not-involve any great expense; in fact, in. the long run a considerable saving is -effected. This is particularly so- when advantage is taken of the Crothall Way dry-cleaning service. Suits perio'dically cleaned and pressed by the Crothall Way. cleaners will always look like new and will last longer, since it is weU known that nothing wears the fabric presence of dust particles. Incidentally, it is quite erroneous to suppose that cleaning takes the "life out" of cloth. It Is reassuring to know that each- article cleaned by the Crothall Way is ireated with absolutely pure spirit. This has been made possible by the installation of a special purifying: plant similar to one used in Petone, Wellington, '-tAW only other in the Dominion. There is, too, a Crothall brushing and pressing club, by which suits can be collected, brushed and pressed, and delivered for 2/6 a month; the ordinary casual charge for this service is 3/6. The problem of has been solved, and any material, including blue serge, can be treated, the shine removed and the material renapped. The orocess is carried out in conjunction with cleaning and pressing and only emails an extra charge of 5/.

Every kind of fine work, including 'adies' evening dresses, beaded work and the cleaning and repleatinir of pleated sarments is undertaken. The excellence o fthis class of work can be judged from the fact that Mr. Crothall received a «necial testimonial expressing satisfaction with the work dene for Her Royal Hiffhness the Duchess of York, wben she visited Auckland last year. Hemstitching, carried out by specially-engaged exper*"?. and a Treating process of unsurpassed exceHenee are other features of the Crothall Way service. Urgent •-enuirfrnents are specially catered for, orwl. if necessarv. advantage may be taken of the special six-hour service. r nll. . write or -nbnne ICrothall Wav Cleaners and Dyers. L<td.
