A Very Necessary Reform.

HINTS. FOB EVE.&YQNLy\ ' : The chief characteristic 0? . American Laundry work, as everyone who. visits th^ United States knows very well, is the b|»-{-"' leBS whiteness, of thfc linen and the pfri < ft.-, finish and colour imparted by the star<».h«: .'■ In no country in the world is m .. h attention given to these details, or >»•>'* better results; and it is no uscoinmnn thing for Americans visiting the C-'Zjt.-n-* to declare that Australian LvuuUii*; *- • behind the age in a great mj-ay tlr-ijj. and in none more bo than, in the ' >.-. up** of the starched goods.' A efci'i.' i. collar, or a sleeve band innocent ai nr<> /» * is considered clean and prescenaoiis whether its colour be grey, blue, or.yuJm >■■ . and very few who notice these peculi&nftt m are sufficiently particular to insist upon a very necessary reform. By using GILBERT'S GLOSS,, or LAUNDRY. STAECH, without the slightest additional labour, a perfect finish is imparted, and the whiteness of the lily supersedes the bile of the wattle and the dirty grey peculiar to inferior starch and wintry rain olonds. Those who desire the luxury o£ irreproachable linen— and what lady or gentleman does not ? — • should insist upon theu laundresß using GILBERT'S GLOSS, OR LAUNDRY starch; which any grocer can obtain for jou ■without any .appreciable, increase in cost 1 Because common, Continental and .other inferior starches are obtainable at a halfpenny or penny perlb lees, do not deny a first-class article a trial. Although there ' is a slight difference in the first cost, Gilbert's is by far the most economical in the end. By its use results are obtainable which other starches used in double quantities can never produce, and it will be at once apparent to any reasoning mind that superlative quality can never be sold at as low prices as common goods prepared - -with less earn from second and third rate materials; Remember that C. GILBERT, OP Buffalo, New York, and I)esmoines, lowa, holds the Premier position of a Manufacturer of Fine Starches in America, and that the brands which have established his reputation in the largest cities of the Nevr World are now obtainable in Australasia.
