Scope and content
In 1943 Superior Service Laundry purchased the rights to use the "Lusterize" process, which was originally invented in Spokane, Washington. "Lusterized" dry cleaning was an entirely new method of dry cleaning, it was developed after eleven years of extensive research. "Lusterized" clothing would stay clean longer, press better, resist spotting and wear longer. Interior view of Superior Laundry Company's facilities, women are using steaming machines manufactured by the American Laundry Machinery Company.
