The PER SIAN RUGS include Kerntanshahs, Saruks and others, in carpet sizes, not a particularly large stock, but very beautiful specimens, all of which will be offered at far below present value, some at less than we could buy them for to-day. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Sale will be J.he opportunity to select from our rare collection of CHINESE RUGS, in a variety of large and small sizes, at lower prices, we believe, than the same kind of Rugs can be bought for anywhere else in America. The actual reductions on these Chinese Rugs are from 10 to 20 per cent., but our prices were based upon what we paid, and we have positive information that other stores ljave paid from 20 to 40 per cent, more for the same grades since our purchase. Therefore, it is safe to say that the REAL SAVING in this sale will be at least 35 per cent. This is an opportunity which, no matter whether price-reduction is an impelling incentive to you or not, should not be overlooked, for these handsome Rugs arc scarce and may be still more so and you would have a long search for such superb specimens as we now have. We sincerely advise our customers to BUY THESE RUGS NOW, be cause we have thoroughly studied conditions and know that the values are really extraor dinary. -xr- Straw brldiro A Clothltr fourth I'loor, West The Autumn Opening Display of Mourning Millinery To-morrow Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-' day, a prcspntation of the latest edicts in MourninBMillinery modes, featuring the favored lines and con tours, the most bccoinine effects In crowns and facings, tho artistic I manipulation of eila, and the ef j fectivenesi of hand-work on tho elegant crepea and silks.

Our object, of course, is to induce early buying to distribute the business over a longer season instead of having the bulk of it crowded into a month or two as cold weather .approaches. Therefore, as an incentive to immediate buying, the prices in the Sale, beginning Tuesday, September 2, will 1 Average 20 Per Cent. Below Regular Prices We are looking forward to one of the busiest Fur seasons we have ever known. Indica tions are that Furs will be very fashionable. Tlic demand exceeds the supply, and this, coupled with the high cost of labor, makes steadily rising prices. But we started to buy our Furs for the coming season in April, and it would cost much more to duplicate our stock to-day. We have letters almost every day stating that duplicate orders cannot be fdled at the former prices. All these Furs are new and in the latest styles a collection which we believe to be unsur passed in VARIETY and QUALITY and the prices are much lower than it will be possible to quote for the same qualities later in the season.
