Last time I ever had dry cleaning pick up and delivery was in Texas in 1964. Ever since then, I have had to drop off and pick up in some dry cleaner shop.

When did JL Hudsons stop free package delivery? It used to be when we rode the bus or streetcar downtown, you weren't coming home on the bus with a passel of boxes and bags. You could shop on Saturday and the Hudson's truck would bring it to your house on Tuesday or Wednesday. You only needed to carry home what you immediately needed.
