Few companies can truly claim they have been continuously owned and operated by the same family for 100 years. A big congratulations to all those wbleepedhave contributed to building the tremendous rebleepedtion that Paris holds in the community! The dedication, loyalty and commitment of the Franke family and the Paris Employee family is the reason Paris is the benchmark by which all other dry cleaners in the area are measured.

Congratulations on your 100'th. And on the beautiful story you have created for the first installment. This should be an inspiration to many of the longtime residents of the area to develop their own histories to pass on to their children and beyond, before they are lost. . . I applaud your efforts and will look forward to further chapters.
Congratulations to Paris on their 100th Anniversary and best wishes for the next successful 100 in Central Illinois!
Congratulations on the rich history that your family has brought to Illinois. Living in one of the homes previously occupied by the Franke Family in Springfield, it is nice for us to know some of your history. If you have any pictures of your earlier days at 1313, we would love to see them. Know that your family will always be honored guests in your old home.
