"ONDAY began our Annual In
ventory Sale of Floor Cover
ings, the most important event
of its kind, the most interest
ing and advantageous to the dis
criminating householder. With a
stock of such magnitude as ours,
a certain accumulation of incomplete
lines and discontinued patterns is
unavoidable, and more than ordin
arily so this year because of the
tendency among manufacturers to
economize by reducing the number
of their designs. There is n vast
difference, however, between odd
lots and job lots the latter being
unknown to this Store and many
of these Special Sale offerings are
actually the choicest as well as the
most desirable goods made. We
are closing them out for the most
part at lower than wholesale prices,
because they are the residue of
incomplete lines, lines that we can
not now duplicate and perhaps not
for years. We quote but a few rep
resentative items and though there
are many other equally big values
we urge you to make as early a
selection as possible.
