A black and white photograph of the street view of Loebl Dye Works Inc., also known as Loebl Cleaners, which opened for business at 346-348 Salem Avenue SW in 1925 or 1926. Initial officers of the corporation were Abe Totz, president, Joseph Loebl, vice president and manager, and Robert Loebl, secretary.
