TWO NKW PLANTS FOB CAMDEN Hough Dry Cleaning Company and Camden Dry Cleanery Open Shortly V < 4S One oI Camden's greatest commercial deficiencies, extending throughout a number of years, is promised generous relief in the immediute future according to plans announced during the past week for the establishment of two modern dry cleaning plants. The Camden Tailoring Company which, under the management of Leroy Hough, has operated a pressing club and tailor shop on DeKalb street will on Monday afternoon be ready to handle all orders in their complete and modernly equipped plant for dry cleaning. Mr. Hough has acquired for his company added quarters to the rear and adjoining their present location and from the size and construction of the fixtures can be gained an explanation of the apparent inability of Camden shops to previously compete with the high quality service obtainable in bigger places. Likewise there comes announcement of a similar plant shortly to be operated in' conjunction with the Camden Steam Laundry, established here several months ago and now operating with such notable success. Workmen are now engaged in rush T I ing to completion the new building to be occupied by the Camden Dry deanery. The home for this concern adjoint* .the boiler room of the laundry and is built of brick with sunlight factory design. No opening c^ute is given for publication but it is stated that the laundry will within n limited space of time be serving their ^regular patronage through the plant now being made a part of their system, : Both new enterprises are expected to have experts in the operation of their plants and the statement is ventured that, with a continuance of the co-operative spirit already in evidence, Camden people can supply and will not fail in further promoting home enterprise and industry in preference to foreign concerns now making such a heavy bid for this class of work. t ' :Cf- * Community Market Notes Customers at the Community.
