DOBBINS’S STARCH POLISH, 
FOR POLISHING 
SHIRT BOSOMS, CUFFS, COLLARS, 
LACE CURTAINS, ETC,, 
putting on the same gloss and hard pearl finish as 
when bought at the store new. 
It enables the most incompetent ironer to com¬ 
pete with any laundry. It, makes the clothes 
clean and white. It makes the clothes iron 
smoothly, and prevents the iron from sticking. 
It makes old linen look like new. It saves a wo¬ 
man many hours of hard work each week. 
A polished shirt-bosom, cuff, or collar, keeps 
clean much longer than linen not polished, for 
this reason : the enamel fills np the pores, lays 
down the nap, puts on a hard peail gloss, which 
prevents the dust or dirt from working into the 
cloth ; therefore, by the use of the enamel, clothes 
can be worn much longer without washing. 
PRICE IWE8TY-FIVE CENTS, POSTAGE PAID. 
DOBBINS’S SILVER POLISH 
is composed of the finest and best ingredients 
known for polishing—without injury—Silver, 
Gold, Plated Ware, Jewelry, Glass, etc., equal to 
new.
