Teenagers keep Buffalo hotel laundry running with swing
At the Statler Hotel in Buffalo a group of 20 high school age workers run the laundry after school, aided by a phonograph playing Benny Goodman and other swing stars. They average two and a half hours daily, earning up to nine dollars a week, with meals and dancing during breaks. The scheme, born from an emergency bottleneck, has grown into a waiting list of applicants and a smoother same day laundry promise.
