THANK YOU...
Students and Staff of KU
FROM: Ed Elam, Independent Laundry & Dry Cleaners TO: Students and staff of KU
On behalf of the personnel at Independent . my sincere thanks for your acceptance of the newest concept in Dry Cleaning . Coin-Operated Dry Cleaning . during our Grand Opening activities.
My introduction of this mark of progress began well over a year ago when Whirlpool Corporation of St. Joseph Michigan, asked INDEPENDENT to participate in another FIRST. Plans were formulated and became a reality on February 11.
Lawrence was selected because it is one of the nation's few "typical" cities . . . it has residents of all income brackets. It has a definite trade area and offers the definite plus factor of one of the nation's outstanding universities.
I feel fortunate to be able to offer this newest concept in dry cleaning to the students and staff of KU...and your response has been more than gratifying.
Again, THANK YOU . . for looking into the window of the future with me, and watching part of tomorrow become a reality today . . in Lawrence and at KU.
Mr. Ed Elam, Independent Laundry and Dry Cleaners, Lawrence, Kansas.
My sincere thanks to you and the students and staff at KU for their acceptance of our new Coin-Operated Dry Cleaners.
It was with great interest to learn that our selection of one of the nation's most typical cities is proving to be one of the nation's most progressive.
Self-Service Dry Cleaning is part of the great concept of progress . . . part of a nation continually striving to be a better place in which to live.
