AN EASY WAY TO ECONOMIC.
A San Francisco Woman's Method of
Saving the Dollars.
New Clothing Made From Old By Diamond
Dyes-Spring Dresses, Suits and Wraps
With No Expense for New Ma
terial - Dressing Well
With Little Honey.

In these hard times San Francisco
woman has found diamond dyes the great
est help in economizng. With their aid
her husband, her children and herself have
dressed comfortably. although nearly all
the clothing was old material dyed over.
Diamond dyes make such beautiful
colors that goods dyed with them cannot be
told from new. Any one can use them, as
the directions are so plain and simple that
no skill is needed. The color is there to
stay. and will not wash. wear or fade out.
Silk, cotton, wool, dresses, cloaks, stock
ings, feathers. laces, carpet rags are all
easily colored by diamond dyes. They are
especially prepared for home use, and the
makers guarantee them the strongest and
fastest of all dyes. Use package and see
how easily it is to dye at home. The dia-
mond are the original package dyes, and
no one should accept any OF the inferior
substitutes that are sometimes kept by
dealers for a larger profit. Many of the
dyestuffs in diamond dyes are original
discoveries that simplify The work. and
cannot be had in other dyes. Insist on
having the diamond and you will always
be successful in home dveing.
