Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
ieals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
OF everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made

anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
II ozs. 1t is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
