"We took this out of the dry cleaning machine and I steam cleaned a spot on it and I took it off he hanger so it would not stretch. We are then going to do the finishing pressing on it and at that point I will take the two garments and they are hanging here. I would look at the neck and see that this is a 2403, the ticket I had when I put the name of the customer on the originals. I check for this garment and then I would check this. I might have 25 to 30 garments here. I look for this one the same and I would then have to fold it up nice and re-put it on its hanger. Now if this was a silk garment I might put tissue paper if it is a very fine garment over the hanger but being this is just wool here it will not matter. I have checked the tickets. I have noticed that these are 2403. I would find the right ticket with the name of the customer being Grace Sippel, it's one of mine. Now I have the sweaters and it is this ticket and this customer. I would then put it on here, it is one of my own but I like to bag them anyway. I would find these shirt bag, I would put it on it and this is the bag area. I would bag it up, take the bag off, take my staple gun and staple this to the garment and I now know that in the dolly. "
