to be hoped that the ripening Of this
conclusion will not prove a disap-

enormous figures swell with increas-

Don't rub
the life out OF
your clothes

Sprinkle a little Gold Dust
in the water, and let the Gold
Dust Twins do all the hard
part of the task. Gold Dust
starts to dissolve and lather
the moment it strikes the
water; it starts to cleanse the
moment it comes in contact
with the garment. 1t instantly
softens the hardest water,
saves rubbing, saves wear and
tear on clothes, and does most
of the work without your
assistance.
Use Gold Dust next wash day
and have whittier, sweeter
cleaner clothes, with half tn
effort and in half the time.
