As a rule, only two prices obtained one for all the manglers and plain ironers, another for the starchers and shirt and fancy ironers. In one laundry the wage fell as low as $10 a month.

The contents of the trucks were dumped first on the shakers' tables, and when each piece was smoothed out we the shakers redumped the stacks into the truck, which was pushed on to the manglers, who ironed it all out in the hot rolls.
