Dry cleaner Jack Knight of 420 Lake avenue says men's trousers dominate summer cleaning. Slacks are worn almost every day, jackets rarely, and heat plus perspiration increase wrinkling and wear. Picnics also drive demand, proving profitable for summer cleaning firms.
The article notes how picnics pose odd stains from watermelon juice, mustard, ketchup, soda, and grass, challenging cleaners. It praises adaptable cleaners who handle spots from smashed bags and food spills, advising wearers to label stains with causes to aid processing. Knights emphasizes that some stains demand skill and time, but dry cleaners can handle everything from everyday slacks to evening wear.
The Economy Shoe Store at 53 East Avenue opposite the Post Office, owned by John Demirjian since 1912, emphasizes low prices through low overhead and direct operation. It offers boys and men's shoes in sizes from children’s 10 up to large men’s, with wide widths including A to H, plus arch supports, neolite soles, dress and work styles, and a full repair department run by his son James.
