I think that's a great question! I do remember that, during that same time period of the early '60s, my best friend's stay-at-home mother had her husband's shirts picked up & laundered by our local dry cleaner because he was a very meticulous and officious accountant who worked for one of the largest insurance companies in downtown Chicago and demanded that his shirts be professionally pressed & starched to the nth degree. [Actually, as I'm remembering him now I realize he could have passed for Barney - short, skinny/wiry, and a little too impressed with his own importance at times!] But Andy sure never wore pressed & starched shirts, so maybe his official uniform pants needed more pressing than Aunt Bee wanted to deal with?

What would Aunt Bee need a laundry service for? Was that common back then? Nobody ever does my laundry for me. Just wondering. Now, get to it. Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J.
