This will give you an idea of the remarkable exhibition and sale of Oriental rugs on the seventh floor in the central section of this building. It is a gigantic picture, full of antique association and eloquently sym bolic of the ancient supremacy of the Eastern peoples in the coloring and weaving arts. Do you want to see this great picture, significant as it is of the art of four thousand years? We hope you will like it. Everybody who lias seen it has been very much pleased with it, to ay the least, and the feeling of most visitors is one of delight, real delight, for it is indeed a somewhat thrill ing sight. And yet the most remarkable feature of this exhibition and sale is not the beauty of it, but the fact that at a time of this kind it provides an abundance of authentic and dependable Oriental rugs of practically all weaves at considerably less than their acknowledged market value today.
