Laundry work at noIn- would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order 10 get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
.sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more tbinly because of its great
sr strength than other makes.
