HOW ARTHUR RESIDENTS NO LONGER HAVE TO WORK THEIR SCHEDULE AROUND PICKING UP THEIR DRY CLEANING.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

ARTHUR, IL - February 21, 2004 - Simple amenities like having local dry cleaner is often taken for granted for those residents living in a larger city. However, when you live in a rural town like Arthur, going to the dry cleaners becomes an all-afternoon affair.

Despite having a bustling downtown and countryside full of Amish businesses the one service missing was a local dry cleaner - until now. Delbert's Clothing, a menswear retail store, located in the heart of downtown Arthur has become a weekly drop-off and pick-up point for Peerless Cleaners of Decatur.

The prices Peerless charges will be the same as if someone went to their physical location in Decatur. Delbert's will not receive any compensation associated with handling the dry cleaning. The drop-off and pick-up is scheduled for Wednesday mornings.

Arthur residents and surrounding communities will now have a timesaving alternative to having their clothes dry cleaned and shirts laundered. "It's really a win - win arrangement for everyone" said Terry Clark manager of Delbert's Clothing. "It saves our clients time, Peerless increases their market reach, and obviously we will benefit from additional foot traffic," commented Clark.

Peerless Cleaners has been in business since 1945 and the fire and water restoration business since 1981 in Decatur, Illinois.
