MIR. John S. Price, of Baltimore, for
many years in the Internal Revenue Office
in that city visited his son Mr.. Thomas E.
Price, foreman of THE WING office this
week. Mr.. Price is member of the Price
family of Wilmington, and a son of the late
John Price who WIS one of three brothers
who were proprietors of the famous Touring
mills on the Brandywine, which did sucn
an extensive export trade in flour. He had
not been in Elktou for 80 years, his first
visit here being when young man to at
tend party at the residence of the late Col
Samuel Hollingsworth. Although an I'M
usually efficient officer in the Internal Rev
enue Service he was displaced by Collector
Roberts for partisan reasons only.
1t hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for ten-cent article,
could, if pennies were used in payment,
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes. To judge from the
stocks of our dealers in dye stutfs Diamond
Dyes own the field of package dyes, and are
complete success. OF course they have
imitators. Nothing is success until im-
tated." But no one wants to risk a coun-
terfeit when the genuine can be obtained at
the same price. Three new colors have
lately been added TO the list of Diamond
Dyes: Fast Stocking Black, Turkey Red
for Cotton, and Brown for Cotton. The man
ufacturers, Wells, Richardson & Co, Bur-
lington, VT, will send colored samples of
these new dyes, with book of directions, to
any address, free OF charge. These addi-
tions seem to have made the line so COM
pete that any shade can be matched with
some color of Diamond Dyes. The beauti-
full sample book of shaded colors, lately sent
to all dealers in dyes, will delight the eye OF
any lady. cts easy to dye with Diamond
Dyes" is 80 absolutely true that home dye
ing is no longer difficult and disagreeable
task. Almanacs, with their hints as to
proper times for different work, tell that
now is the time for Spring dyeng. This,
together with the thought of that hundred
tons of money, leads us to ask what school
boy can figure how many thousands of
ladies are now saying that this is the time
to use Diamond Dyes.
