Read & White, 111 Summer street, Boston, have developed to a marked degree of detail the business of renting formal clothing and furnishings. A man can go to this company's establishment and be equipped from head to toes for a formal evening affair, including a full dress suit, shirt, shoes, hat, gloves, collar and tie.
Asked how the company surmounted the obstacle of satisfying a man who might not care to wear a pair of shoes that had been worn by someone else, Mr. Read stated that every article of apparel rented was thoroughly cleaned after being returned, before it was rented again. Hats and shirts, as well as suits, are subjected to the most rigid cleaning treatment before being rented again, so that a person hiring a complete outfit receives apparel that is as good as new, at least as far as cleanliness is concerned.
A 25 per cent discount is allowed to all Harvard Students. Price list sent on request.
