- Description
- Dry cleaners with multiple locations in the 1930s and 1940s. The main branch was located at the corner of Farnsworth and Beaubien. They had additional locations on Hastings and St. Antoine Streets. In 1941, the address for the main branch was listed as 454 Farnsworth. In 1944, the address was listed as 455 Farnsworth. This discrepancy may be a mistake, or the dry cleaner may have moved to a new location across the street from the original space.
