So long as September lasts there is choice from many thousands of useful implements of household importance, all the way from clothes lines to refrigerators, at reductions of 10 to 40 per cent. - But September comes to an end next Tuesday, and that will be the last of the reduced prices until another semi annual sale, at least. There are many interesting demonstrations among the household appliances now. t (lotirtli I lour, Central and MarKet) It's Only the Days That Will Soon Give Out It Isn't the Glass or China! Quantities and Qualities Keep JJp Staunchly in the September Sale Faster and faster the late-stayers at mountain, singular days a dollar is quite unlike a man or a shore and country are flocking into town and opening j woman ; the less it is worth, the more we respect it ! up their homes. ' It would seem that one of the first doors they .open is that of the china-closet or the pantry, taking quick stock of the contents, and rarely being satisfied thereby. For faster and faster the public are flocking to the September Sale of China and Glass, and making purchases great or small, according to their needs. It would seem also that everybody realizes that the sands of September are in "rapid transit." Next Saturday will be the last Saturday-, and next Tuesday the last day altogether, during which ' the September Sale prices will obtain. All the way from' 10 to 50 per cent on high-quality dinner-sets and odd dishes, and from 20 to 50 per cent on pieces of splendid cut crystal, light-cut or etched glassware, is the range of savings. Did anybody ever despise savings? If so, he's a cured case by now, we will warrant; for in these It's quite an exhilarating experience in these times to buy a beautiful cut-glass vase for your friend's wedding-present, at a price which permits of surprising the folks at home with a superb succes sor to the long-ago-broken and long-mourned celery tray !

A3 for the cut-glass, sparkling and resplendent, it's a joy to see it it's so beautiful ! a joy to sell it it's so much appreciated! and apparently a joy to buy it, judging from the satisfaction expressed in the faces of most purchasers. That satisfaction will last, too, after the glass has reached home and been subjected to the test of time.
