"Black as the Ace of Spades That's what we said of the paint when we moved into thi. house. Mercy, ma!" said Belle, my eldest daughter we'll never be able to get it clean." Nothing like trying," said I "go to the nearest grocer's, Belle, and tell him to sell you the best soap he has." Back she came, her face beaming. Here's something better than Soap, ma its Gold Dust Washing Powder. Don't you remember how auntie praised it up? Now we'll see if what she said p«m» true in our case." Well it did, you'd better believe. I honestly think white chalk would make a black mark on that paint now. Our motto is, "If at first you don't succeed"—but jo« will if you use Gold Dust Washing Powder.
Gold Dust Washing Powder is sold by all grocers.
