1934 Newspaper Ads -- Alva, OK

Hankin's Dairy was located east of the College as the 1934 Ad states. Also listed in the ad was something called "666 Liquid Tablets Salve & Nose Drops."

Another ad shows Smith's College Cleaners, which pure cleaning fluid and expert spotting, handling and pressing were their magic secrets to keeping clothes new looking. Their prices in 1934 were 79-cents for women's dresses, 65-cents for men's suits and 75-cents for men's O'Coats (overcoats). Smith's College Cleaners had a phone number that was easy to remember -- Phone 1.

One of our readers mentioned to this NW Okie awhile back, "The Smith Cleaners was owned and operated by Errol Smith's Father. Erroll Smith owned and operated the City Cleaners, which was located at 519 Barnes. This is the location where I started in the dry cleaning business in 1982, then relocated to 432 Okla. Blvd. I still use the same spotting techniques and solvents that Erroll used, I was taught by the best."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
