Fast Dyes for Cotton.
Brilliant and Unfading Colors
Made by Diamond Dyes.
A Ten.Cent Investment often
Saves Dollars.

Professional dyers always use differ
ont dyes for cotton than for wool, as
cotton is n vegetable fibre, while wool
comes from an animal. In Diamond
Dyes there are some fifteen fast cotton
colors that are prepared especially for
cotton and mixed goods. These dyes
give colors that even washing in strong
Eoapsuds or exposure to the sunlight
will not fade
See that you get Diamond Dyes, and
take nothing else.
