The American Cleaners, one of Coleman’s most modern plants has long been recognized as being capable of producing satisfactory work.  A special service is rendered in the cleaning and restoring the shape, size and finish to all felt hats.  The American Cleaners is the only plant in Coleman County that does dying and tinting on all types of garments, including Celanese silks.

T. C. Hart, owner of the American Cleaners, started in the business in 1915.  In 1917, Mr. Hart went into business in Toyah, Texas, enjoying a good business through the five years that he remained there.  Later, in 1933, Mr. Hart moved to Stamford, Texas, establishing a cleaning business there.  Having a keen foresight in the future Mr. Hart saw the possibility of the success in his line of work in some other locality.  He chose Coleman as his next home and in 1933 he moved here buying the present plant that has prospered and shown an increase since the day it was opened.  This was made possible only through the confidence shown by the people in his work.  Mr. Hart is proud of this record and wishes to thank the support and looks forward to a friendly service for you in the future.

The process of cleaning used by the American Cleaners is a special one that results in giving the customers a standard grade of work on all garments at any time.  The cleaning fluid is regularly filtered to eliminate any dirt, grease or foreign matter that may in any way harm the garment.  Each finished job that leaves the plant is personally inspected by Mr. Hart to be sure that nothing has been left undone.  The alteration and tailoring department offers a service equaled by few.  All the newest fabrics, patterns and styles are featured in S. H. Churchill tailored-to-measure clothes.  Mr. Hart has many satisfied customers that look forward with anticipation of being thoroughly satisfied in any selection they make.  A free pick-up and delivery service is maintained for the convenience of the customer.  Regardless of how difficult the job may seem just call 30, The American Cleaners, and leave the rest to them.
