He operated two plants, one on the corner of 3rd and Robidoux streets and another on King Hill Avenue (address unknown). Both plants were fully equipped with all the most modern appliances for doing first-class laundering and dry cleaning. Both plants were up-to-date in every respect, and both use auto delivery wagons.
Hathon G. Getchell died on May 22, 1937.
In 1952, it became St Joseph Towel & Linen Service.
