1962 - Aug 22 - Modern, New Laundormat Now In Operation
The latest addition to Culver's business district is the Downtown Laundromat,
owned by Paul Snyder Sr.
The new establishment is located at 120 E. Madison St., directly behind the
Culver Hardware.
The modern laundromat, which opened July 26, includes some of the most modern
equipment for washing, drying and dry-cleaning.
There are ten nine-pound washing machines, six double-loaders and two 25-pound
loaders. Easch of these washers uses 1/3 less soap than a top-loader. Eight
dryers and two dry-cleaning machines are available for use, with additional
machines to be added in the near future.
In addition, the new laundromat features a modern Aldspin centrifugal extractor.
This machine may be used to extract greater amounts of water - up to 40% more -
from clothes and it reduces drying time up to 50%.
Other features of the building include comforable loung chairs, folding tables,
sinks, and a coke machine.
During the summer customers will be glad to know that an air-cooler will be at
work inside.
Equipped with such modern equipment and convenences, the Downtown Laundromat
is cetrainly a welcome addition to our community.

It was bound to happen in Culver, and it has. The Grand Opening og Downtown

on Oct. 12 and 13 at 6 a.m. to 12-midnight.
According to Paul T. Snyder, there will be a free and unusual demostration.
Homemakers in our community will be invited to bring their personal
drycleaning and see for themselves how professionally they can dryclean all
garments and household items except those for which laudering is obviously
preferable or those for which professional finishing is recommended.
Each homemaker will be entitled to one free load of drycleaning.
With the opening of Mr Snyder's new Westinghouse drycleaning store, the age
of do-it-yourself drycleaning has begun.
We are told that the remarkable new Westinghouse machines will dry clean a
load for for only $1.50. The load can be comprised of:
11 ladies's dresses or
10 ladies skirts or
32 ladies blouses or
6 men's slacks or
9 children's coats or
4 pair of unlined drapes,
etc. etc. etc. or any combination of the above.
The machine will dryclean such household items as sofe slipcovers,
bedspreads, and shag rugs.
The new Westinghouse Drycleaners are also prefect for wash-and-wear
clothes.
