Mr. Rumple Bumple

Mr. Rumple-Bumple was a cheerful mascot created by Troy Laundry, a professional laundry service that operated in various U.S. cities during the early to mid-20th century. The illustration shows a smiling man in a suit and tie with a flower in his lapel and a bird perched on his shoulder, all printed in bright red on a white background. The character’s whimsical name likely plays off the idea of removing “rumples” or wrinkles from clothing, fitting for a laundry service aiming to be both reliable and memorable.
