C. Taylor & Co Van

1920s

From the Christchurch Press 1919- A WELL-KNOWN DYEING FIRM OPENS IN CHRISTCHURCH. At last Christchurch is to have a really modern Dry Cleaning and Dyeing Works. Messrs Taylor and Co.," late of the City Dye Works, Dunedin, have opened a modern factory at 58 Kilmore Street. The latest, dry-cleaning machinery has been installed, and all work will be done by the genuine French Dry Process, no water ever touches the articles being cleaned, and the most delicate evening frocks, ladies' costumes, and gentlemen's suits of any fabric, are cleaned and returned to you equal to new.

Contributor's note: "This photo was in my grandparent's collection and they must have known the lady driver of this van, but unfortunately I don't know who she is."
