A VERY NECESSARY REFORM

• HINTS FOR EVERYONE. The chief characteristic of American Laundry work, as everyone who visits the United States knows very well, is the spotless whiteness of the linen and the perfect finish and colour imparted by the starcher. In no country in the world is more attention given to these details, or with better results ; and it is no uncommon thing for Americans visiting the Colonies to declare that Australian Laundries are behind the age in a great many things, and in none more so than in the "get up" of starcnea goods. A shirt, a collar, or a sleeve-bana innocent of grime is considered clean ana presentable, whether its colour be gray, blue, or yellow; and very few who notice these peculiarities are sufficiently particular to insist upon a very necessary reform, oy using GILBERTS GLOSS, OR LAUNDRY STAKCH, without the slightest additional labour, a perfect finish is imparted and the whitened of the lily supersedes the bile of the wattle and the dirty grey peculiar to inferior starca and wintry rain clouds. Those who desire the luxury of irreproachable linen--anu what lady or gentleman does not?— ulu insist upon their laundress using GILBERT'S GLOSS, OR LAUNDRY STARCH which any grocer can obtain for you ™ th °™ any appreciable increase in cost. i? eca T' common, Continental and other inferior starches are obtainable at a halfpenny or penny per lb. less, do not deny a nrst-ciaw article a trial. Although there is a shg° difference in the first cost, Gilbert sis py far the most economical in the end. b) use results are obtainable which otne starches used in double quantities can new produce, and it will be at once apparent™ any reasoning mind that super ative quality can never be sold at as low prices as com mon goods prepared with less care from second and third rate materials. Remember thab C. GILBERT, Of _ Buffalo, New York, and Desmoines,lo™._ holds the Premier position as a]' turer of Fine Starches in America, an that the brands which have reputation in the largest cities of the ge World are now obtainable in Australasia.
