Comparison of Colour, If you were asked the question, " Is there any difference in the colour of the various brands of laundry blue on the market ?" your answer would probably be " No ! there isn't !" and you would be quite wrong, for there is a difference. "Royal Blue" or "Empire Blue," As it is more familiarly called, is not so dark as the others. The accuracy of this statement can be easily proved. Compare a nob of " Empire Blue" with a nob of any other brand, and you will readily see that " Empire Blue" is of a lighter colour lr you moisten "Empire Blue" with a drop of water, it will look just as dark as the other. The difference in colour is easily explained : "Empire Blue" contains less moisture and less foreign matter than the others-it is purer and therefore possesses greater bleaching properties. * Since you buy laundry blue for bleaching purposes, you wan! the best your money can buy Your grocer sells " Empire Blue. g
