DYES, Aniline

are put up in convenient packages for dyeing a great variety of articles, from Easter Eggs to clothing and household furnishings. They are based on Aniline, a coal-tar product discovered in 1856.

A majority of aniline colors are soluble in water, some in alcohol and some in oil. A few of the water-soluble can be made into oil-soluble. If alcohol or oil soluble colors are desired, it should be designated when ordering.

Certain of these dyes are now largely employed as very effective and harmless colors for confectionery, etc.
