Persia Holds the Palm in Rug Weaving
But There Is a Charm About
Other Rugs Also
Persian weaves are the cream of this beautiful collection. Saruks and Ker
manshahs are probably the supreme products of Persian looming and color Avork.
Although Saruks are much heavier rugs than Kermanshahs and generally
richer in tone, the Kermanshah possesses a quality of elegance and a delicacy of
shading which are very appealing and adaptable for fine schemes of furnishing.
What a contrast between these rugs and the carpets of China, with their high pile
and their distinctive shades of blue, tan, pink and pale orange tones ! And between
these two types what a wonderful choice of rugs you will find here. A choice em
bracing all the well-known Caucasian weaves, as well as India, Asia Minor and
other rugs.

"In the twilight of life, when old and precious
memories are siveet to recall, music finds
many echoes in the heart."
Music is a wonderful bridge to span iho years with. Over it

Every one worth -vhilo loves music, but to older folk it is a
special joy. It is they who appreciate to the fullest extent the

The Ampico
Reproducing Piano
It was not so long ago that people had to wait for music until
some one came in who could play the piano.
Then the player-piano came, and what a blessing it has beenl
And now we have the Ampico reproducing piano, the most mar
velous musical instrument of an astonishing age.
Now, on quiet Darby-and-Joan evenings, or when friends drop
in, or when, on happy holiday occasions the old family circle forms
again, there is music glorious music.
Splendid operatic or other classical compositions, or dear,
haunting little tunes of the long-ag.
Each played, not as luck supplies the performer, but by a mas
ter hand that of a Godowski, a Buhlig, a Vollavy with all the
perfection of the virtuoso's techniqua and all the fire of his genius.
The children's children who are growing up in that family
know no other music than fine music, correctly played.
With some feeling a customer told us, the other day, of
the first evening he had played an Ampico reproducing piano in
his home.
"My parents live with me," he said, "and while they are, of
course, very fond of each other, I never noticed any sentiment
about them. They are Roman parents and I took it for granted
that they had outgrown that sort of thing.
"The other night, when the Ampico was playing, the old folks
were sitting' side by side in a corner of the room. I had put on a
roll of some old-fashioned melody, I can't recall the name, and,
after a moment I saw father reach out slyly and take mother's
hand. There they sat, hand in hand, like a pair of blessed chil
dren." Ampico reproducing pianos are sold at Wanamaker's only in
Philadelphia.
