HOME DYING MADE EASY.
EVEN A CHILD CAN DYE WITH DIA-
MOND DYES.

Diamond Dyes Color Anything Any Color
Make Old CIoaks, Gowns, Scarfs, and
Suits Look Like New-HOw to Dress Well
at Small Cost.
Diamond Dyes are q wonderful help to
economical dressing. These simple home
dyes will color anything any color, and
they make cloaks, stockings, dresses,
feathers, aces, curtains, etc, look like
new.
Many of the Diamond Dyes are made
from especially prepared dyestuffs, and in
no other way can home dyeing be done so
simply and satisfactorily.
They come in all colors, and the plain
and explicit directions on the package
make it easy for the most inexperienced
to use them with success. Even a child
can dye rich perfect color, if Diamond
Dyes are used.
Do not risk your material with dyes
that claim to color both cotton and wool
with the same dye, for it is impossible to
get satisfactory results with dyes of that
character. In Diamond Dyes, there are
special dyes for COTTON and special dyes
for wool, and they are all guaranteed to
give satisfaction, if used according to di-
rections.
