gold DUST
makes hard water soft


By the use of Gold Dust you
can at all times have nice, soft
rainwater right at your elbow
for the asking. Imagine what
a help this would be for wash
ing clothes, and for all clean
sing purposes!
Just a little Gold Dust added
to any water softens it, takes
out the mineral substances
and brings out the greatest
cleansing value.
Gold Dust dissolves dirt and
grease, works like lightning,
and relieves house work of all
its drudgery.
For your poor backs sake,
don't try to keep house with
out Gold Dust.
