PLAN No. 538. STARCH ENAMEL
There was but one of the formulas left, and the sixth girl took that one, determined to make it a success. The formula was as follows:
Stearine, one powder; paraffin, 4 ounces; powdered ultramarine blue, 1⁄2 dram.
Fortunately, this girl’s uncle was the owner of a large laundry in the city, and he offered to make a thorough test of her product in his own establishment. The result of that test was that he offered to furnish the money for making this starch enamel on a very extensive scale, and the sales were so large that by the end of the six months her share of the profits were over $700, and she not only took the prize offered by her domestic science teacher, but found herself a half-owner of a business that later made large profits each year.
