After spending seven years as a waitress at the cafe, the site seemed too much like home to Jacobs to let it go. After discussing it with her friend, Pat Fitzgerald of Sandy, the two decided to team up and turn the old restaurant into a dry cleaning business. Their dream is now a reality as The Cleaning Cottage at 198 East State is one of Lehi's newest U M Mary cents a single copy sj "N. t Clayne Robison George Dyer businesses.

"When I first saw the beautifully done restoration of the Alpine Tabernacle, I felt that The Messiah must be presented there," Stout said. "This extraordinary, historic building is a perfect setting for performances of great, sacred works of music. It is our hope to produce an inspir- ing Christmas treat for this wonderful community."

Fitzgerald has six years of experience in dry cleaning work, but neither had ever tried anything like this before. They got the necessary city permits and set about getting the building ready. According to Jacobs original plans were to simply remodel the old cafe. As they worked on it, however, it became apparent the old building was going to require a lot of work to bring it up to standard. In the middle of that effort last winter, both Jacobs and Fitzgerald attended the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) in Maryland (which Jacobs says is the only dry cleaning institute available in the United States). When they returned, Jacobs said they found the old building razed to the ground. It was a shock to both of them. It turned out that Fitzgerald's husband, who is in the excavation busi ness, had decided it would be easier to start from scratch so he tore the old building down. The new building, which is of log cabin design and features the convenience of a drive-throupick-u- p and drop-of- f "window" on the west side, ended up being only a little more expensive to build than renovating the old would have been. The Cleaning Cottage is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It offers all laundry services including dry cleaning and shirt launon-si- te dry. A local person is contracted to do alteration work, and leather cleaning is handled by an expert in Salt Lake City. Fitzgerald brings over six years of experience in clothes care to the business, and Jacobs has been working for a dry cleaners learning the practical side of the business since returning from school last March. Discounts are given for funerals, temple clothes, and police uniforms. A grand opening special is currently being offered for sweaters at $1.99 per sweater. Jacobs is especially pleased with their covered drive-throug- h, which allows busy people and mothers with small children to take care of laundry drop-of- f without and pick-up leaving their car. They offer reasonable rates and accept major credit cards.
