77ie Mosf Important Furniture Movement Outside of Our Half- Yearly Sale)
$200,000 Worth of Highly Desirabl
Suits and Pieces at Savings of
One-Fourth to One-Half
An Old-Fashioned All-Day
Throng pi Visitors
flocked in and out of our doors yesterday until the
Now 5:30 Closing Hour
1 It is as ever striving to be at its best every hour
of evry day alike. Come when it suits you best.
j One of our customers told us yesterday of an
particle offered elsewhere at $18, with a value quoted
Jit $29.75, which we have always sold at $16.50.
We start the season at low and fair prices at a
moderate profit; instead of trying first to get the
biggest possibe prices, expecting to mark down
prices later on, after high prices slack down.
This is the one store like the clear country
stream, flowing through the sweet, clean dairy
every day in the same steady way, but it never pre
.tends to make you believe that all its milk pans have
cream on the top every day.
Nobody gets sour milk or half cream here.

An Oriental Rug Sale
Full of Beauty and Advantage
SJi
Visitors from other cities
haye expressed wonder at our
great Exhibition Sale of
Oriental rugs.
It has been something of a
revelation to them, in its un
paralleled extent, great wealth
of color and unusual advan
tages, We have sent rugs from it
to places nearly 2000 miles
distant. We, have sent them
into many States, but we still
have thousands of rugs to sell
at special prices and the dis
play as everybody can see
is as beautiful as ever.
It is the most elaborate set
out of Oriental rugs ever,, seen
in any stock in America, and
back of all its beauty and
color there is a foundation of
real economy, every rug being
marked at less than prevail
ing rates, many of them being
one-third or more below the
prices at which similarly re
liable pieces are generally
valued.
These are some particularly
interesting pieces among thou
sands of otners Persian, Chi
nese, Caucasian and Asia
Minor.
