Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This Is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
contalnjng only 12 os in a package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains It ox. for
the same money.
Do you want Is cs. Instead of 12 os.
for same money? Then buy Defiance
Starch. Requires no cooking.
While the pessimist sees only the
thorns on the rose the optimist sees
only the rose on the thorns.
