Grade's Pantorium, later known as Grade's Cleaners starting around 1961, was a fixture on Main Street for more than 40 years, from the '20s to the '60s.  As you'd expect, their ads were reflective of a more formal era...suits and top coats with just a dash of sexism.  And when was the last time you had YOUR felt hat cleaned and blocked?
