The process of unloading a car with the

angles are raised to a height sufficient to
allow loaded car to be run under them and
then lowered until the teeth OF the chain
come in contact with the cane. AS the pile
on the car becomes lower, the set of TRAN.

cleaned, the triangles being so constructed
that when at the lowest point the under side
of each set is horizontal and parallel with

The unloader IL operated by small steam
engine connected by belt with an overhead
shaft, to which the triangles are hung.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to 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 trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
