The Best Rug News Since Last Spring--
Sale Begins Monday Morning, 8th Floor

Two famous makers of HIGH QUALITY WILTONS made unim-
portant changes in patterns. They do twice yearly, and rugs in the dis-
continued patterns are closed out at a sacrifice. We were successful in
getting 100 of these fine rugs—among the best Wiltons produced—
and we shall place them on sale Monday at $59—which is little more
than the regular wholesale.
