The clothes always ironed up so crisp and sharp. Why can't I find that old fashioned starch now. I have to buy that old magic sizing stuff and it doesn't make my fabric near as crisp.
Anybody know where I can buy the old fashioned kind of starch? Or even the old Niagara Spray Starch? All I can find is that Magic Sizing stuff.
