All State and Connty Records should al

the chemicals inserted in the pulp not only
prevent erasure or transfer, but make it last

For Southern Climates it is excellent, and
much inferior to hnf tnher; as this moislnese
of (he (ilimite does not destrojf It,—the prop
erties inserted in the pulp being a preventive.
In all the southern states, Cubs, the West in

written on the ordinary paper, while the oils

has ever been obtained by any other
• Starch.
This has bsfen the result of its marked eu
, periority in quality, snd its invariable uni
formity.
The public may be assured of the comma
ance of the high standard, now established.
The production ie over Twenty Tone daily;
and the demand has extended throughout tha
whole of the United States, and to foreign
countries.
Working thus on a very large scale, and
under a rigid system, they are gble to securd
a perfect end uniformity in the quality terough
out the year. This is the great Desideratum
in Na'rch-maWiog, and issealized now for
the first time.
The very best starch that cah be made,and
ne other, is always wanted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to Ibem by
the grocers, as soon as their customers have
learned which is the best, and ask for it—
otherwise they would be likely to gel that
article on which the largest profit can be
made.
Mr. Kingsford has bedn engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously for the
last 27 years, and during the whole of the
period, the starch made under his supervis
ion has beeh, beyond anv question, the best
in the market. For (he first 17 years, be had
the charge of the works of Wm. Colgate it
Co., at which period he invented the process
of the manufacture of corn starch.
