Old Fogey ideas give way to modern methods and Gold Dust is taking the place of all other cleaners and justly, too, for it is the only washing powder worthy of the name. It does its work more quickly, more thoroughly, more economically than any other cleaner. Do not be misled by substitutes which claim every virtue under the sun. There is no product on the market today that will do anywhere near the work that Gold Dust accomplishes every dav in thousands of American homes.
