Laundry facilities at Western State Hospital. This large piece of machinery may be a presser as one of the uniformed women employees is seen folding a sheet. A small pile of sheets is already stacked on a nearby table. Smaller pressing units can be seen along the back walls. Photograph ordered by American Laundry Machine Industries, Seattle.

Laundry--Lakewood; Western State Hospital (Lakewood);

Western State Hospital in 1961 apparently had a large laundry staff to handle the needs of hundreds of patients. Several women in white shoes and uniforms are using various American Formatic machines. One machine called the American Formatic Sleeve Finisher has part of a shirt dangling from it while others are in use. Photograph ordered by American Laundry Machine Industries, Seattle.
