The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
