Look, I found a place where you could call and ask in the manner of the joke “Is this the laundry?”, because in the photo is the American Institute of Laundering. It has long since deceased. I found an article about it in the Saturday Evening Post from January 1960. Now there are even no traces left.

For example, it describes how the institute conducted testing of various things and discovered that foam inserts in bras were the cause of fires. The foam rubber in the bra’s construction easily caught fire after drying. Generally, that’s what they were up to.
