[His wife] helped Fairchild immensely, when he started the business and soon after they came to this city from Memphis, Tenn. when they were married, she sacrificed all in order that he might get started in business.
The Whiteway Cleaners and Dyers company was in financial difficulties last year and secured the aid of all the colored papers to help in raising funds for the business. They asked the people to pay for cleaning and dyeing in advance so the company could meet outstanding bills. This was done and the company held a mass meeting at the Second Baptist church. The final results were not given to them, but it is believed that the meeting was a success as the company seems to be running along without any outstanding business troubles. This company does not confine its activities to colored people but many white drivers are seen serving white neighborhoods daily as they pick up and deliver clothes which have been serviced by the company.
