Summary:Unused customer ticket for the Swastika Laundry, Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, Co. Dublin. The laundry was founded by in 1912 John W. Brittain (1872–1937) from Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim. The use of the Swastika name was as an ancient Indian symbol of good luck: its name originates from the Sanskrit svastika. In 1939, the laundry changed its name to "The Swastika Laundry (1912)" to make clear the distinction between its' use of the name and symbol and the adoption of the symbol by the Nazi Party in Germany. It was bought out by the Spring Grove Laundry company in the 1960s but its' logo and name continued in use until the premises closed in 1987.
