Monday Will Bring a Lot
l&ur Two Months of Saturdays
the Whole Day Free
during- July and August crowns our holiday
N times.
It is like the cap sheaf of the summer
tjiat at tjie end of the wheat ingathering, the
'reapers put on the top of the big stacks of
undies of wheat and dance around in grati-
is
tude and joy of completed and satisfied
labor.
With quite a number of faithful workers
all the holidays they get that are wholly
tjieir own are the nine summer Saturdays.
'. The regular fortnight holidays with pay
advanced are not always available since the
major part of the salary must go the way
it usually goes to the home and room up
keep or family expenses which go on all the
year just the same.
But, oh, those Saturdays before and'
..after our fortnight allowances are, as my
chum says, the
Thanksgiving Days of
our souls
' We are, indeed, Jhankful to have the
privilege of expressing our good will to the
public, who assist us cheerfully by doing
their six days' Shopping in, five.

In the midst of a general market scarcity
of Oriental rugs, particularly of Persian
rugs, we begin Monday an important special
disposal of these very goods. We are able to
do this on account of having secured a very
choice selection of such -importations and
warehouse lots as have been available.
We offer these rugs at prices consid
erably less than prevailing market values,
a statement which can easily be verified by
anybody knowing the present cost per
square foot of the rugs here listed.
The new shipments include Persian
Mahal carpets, Chinese carpets, as well as
some Mosuls, Cabestans, Daghestans, Shir
vans and other pieces. A very small pro
portion of the collection consists of pieces
taken from our regular stocks and reduced.
Considering that only a very few small
shipments have come to this country within
the last eighteen months, the opportunities
presented in this sale should be eagerly
availed of.

It Is Easy to Tell the August Furniture Sale
That Has Quality at the Heart of It and
Character All the Way Through
One of the things which gives this
August Furniture Sale a distinctive
character is that it has always been
the most powerful factor we know of
for the promotion of good cabinet
making. It always has been and it
always must be an influence for better
quality, the quality that goes to the
heart of things.
Many a tree that looks staunch
and noble has a heart no sounder than
cardboard. There are sales that have
a heart of cardboard also little or
nothing to them but the price tags.
We know this sale to be sound at
the heart, or we wouldn't hold it.
Some of the most beautiful furni
ture in all the world is here specifi
cally, the fine reproductions of old
pieces now in museum collections in
America or. abroad.
All in good time we shall tell you
about these in particular, because
their story is worth knowing and the
pieces worth seeing.
But the main strength of the Sale
lies in the wonderful collection of
sound, handsome furniture to be
found in it for the homes and apart
ments of the great bulk of all the peo
ple. A Sale must surely serve them
well to grow so. This year it almost
seems as if the growing process had
only begun.
It is wonderful what comes from
having the goods that the people are
looking for.
