History

Established in 1901.

Schultz Tailoring and Dry Cleaners was started in 1901 with money earned mining gold in Alaska. It was located at 1152 Central Avenue in Wilmette, IL. Originally the dry cleaning process was done at a building across the street where Chase Bank is now located. Once cleaned, the clothes were brought to the plant for pressing. This main plant then housed about 5 – 6 tailors. Schultz Tailoring and Dry Cleaners was one of the first dry cleaners on Chicago’s North Shore. During the depression, they also operated Black & White Cleaners, a lower cost alternative. Later the Schultz family joined into partnership for a short while with Emil Nord. We are currently celebrating our 112^th year in business. From 1901 to 2012, many lives have been touched, and many opportunities found. We have been lucky to have had such wonderful employees through the years who have helped maintain our quality. We owe a debt of gratitude to our steadfast customers– without them we wouldn’t be who we are today!
