"Do You Think That Letter
Will Go With a 2-Cent Stamp?"
one often asks another before posting.
We are often more particular about buying a postage
stamp than in buying a book, or article of wearing apparel.
It is quite common to balance a letter in the hand as if
the hands were weighing scales in order to exercise the best
judgment.
Most assuredly it is a good habit to weigh well the
spending of money.
Read carefully the public announcements of the stores
and weigh well where you can lay out your money with
certainty of final satisfactions.
Your Honor, we rest our case, as the learned lawyer on
the other side says, to the Judge.

The Great, Beautiful Exhibition Sale
of Oriental Rugs
Is Yours to Enjoy and Take Advantage Of
Between the rugs of China and those of other
Oriental countries, the contrast in color and pat
tern is striking.
It is reasonable that the art of "the oldest
continuing nation," as some one has called China,
should reveal tendencies and characteristics of a
strongly individual kind. Here you will see it in
a preference for blue, ecru, burnt orange or
golden tan. Grounds of any one of these shades
form a basis for Chinese rug designs of a curious
and unmistakable type, designs which celebrate
the religion, the culture, or what to many of us
may seem the grotesque ideals of the Far East. In
this way the symbolism of Chinese rugs is highly
significant. Of course, the patterns of Persian
rugs are also emblematic, but their softer colors
and more studied character convey the decorative
ideal with greater subtlety.
It is a pleasure to compare the rugs of the
different Oriental countries as they are shown
in this great and beautiful Exhibition Sale. It is
also a pleasure to be able to choose from such a
glorious wealth of pieces, large, small and mid
dling, at savings from their regular worth in
today's market.
