Upon restocking the trunk of his car with full size samples, he remembered that he usually brought Widow Johnson a gift from the road.

This sign was on display for many years in the building next to the bank, which was two doors down from the police station. Johnny McPhee who ran the dry cleaners was often accused of laundering more than clothing. He seemed to make regular deliveries to the Mayor and Chief of Police, which proved to the locals there was much dirty laundry within the city departments.
Johnny later took a job doing laundry for the state and his business was closed on main street. This sign is all that is left of his operation. If you feel the least bit guilty or sorry for old Johnny, send $43.00 plus shipping to the city clerk and he will send you this sign and forward the money to Johnny. |
