Ephemera · 1 page
A single-page advertisement for Diamond Dyes showing how a faded, old-fashioned dress can be redyed and made to look new. It claims a ten-cent package of dye will color faded cloth, and says the line offers 32 fast colors for wool and 16 for cotton. It also offers a free direction book and 40 colored cloth samples on request, and gives the maker as Wells, Richardson & Co. of Burlington, Vermont.

A single scanned sheet showing two Diamond Dyes advertising trade cards. The top card depicts a teacher and seated women in period dress watching brightly colored dyed cloth being hung on a line, with a dye tub and a box of Diamond Dyes on a table, and carries a caption about using the dyes to refresh dresses economically. The lower card promotes the ease of dyeing with Diamond Dyes. Useful as an example of 19th-century commercial dye advertising.
