Joliet cleaners eye renewed price war after truce ends
The National Dye Works cuts charge for car cleaning and pressing to 50 cents from 1.25, triggering a citywide meeting of cleaners and dyers at the Will County Credit Bureau to decide whether others will follow. A adjourned session aims to reach a joint stance as two years ago’s price war loomed. Samuel Brown defends the cut citing public benefit and maintained quality, while another firm’s owner warns against undercutting harming the industry. Reports say Mr and Mrs John Public are taking advantage of the low prices.
