Oriental Rugs in a v
The First Night of the New
Year of the 366 Nights
of 1920
seemed like the setting out on the first stage of a
long journey.
4We need to learn to make new figures in
letter writing and cheque drawing. The
milestones along the road are the same, but they
seem to call to us to not stumble and fall along the
way as we did in past years.
People often speak of opening a new account
with destiny, courses of study, expenditures of
time, economies and the savings bank.
Why not open a new account with our
consciences to talk less and do more to make
people and homes happier and thus add to our
peace of mind?
Let us determine to be reasonable, frank,
firm and careful of our censure of each other and
Industrious to improve in all our occupations.

An Extraordinary
Disposal of Women's Fine
New Shoes
We own many thousand pair of the fine shoes for women, all purchased ,f or
the present and incoming season.
No shoe in the lot but that has been agreed upon by the styles committee
of the shoe business of the United States as the correct thing for the Fall and
Winter seasons of 1920-1921.
We have conscientiously conducted our business with a view to keeping down
prices to the lowest notch, so as to pay us only a fair profit, and this is particularly
noticeable in the matter of shoes, the rising prices of which have attracted so much
notice.
We believe now that we should go further, though our shoe merchant does
not agree with us, since he anticipates that shoes for the entire year of 1920 will
have to be sold at higher prices than at present.
We therefore start now, letting go our normal profit, and in many cases
more than that, to make a
Disposal at $12 a Pair
of 2345 pair of shoes that were bought under an agreement of eight months ago
and that up until today have been marked $2 to $6 a pair higher. BOUGHT IN
THE MARKET TODAY there isn't a pair of shoes in the lot that could normally
sell at retail within $6 of our new price.
In a sense the disposal is an experiment.
It will show at once whether our customers want a greater number of shoes
to come down in price.
The shoes in the lot placed on sale include some of the finest in America.
There are:
Twelve distinct and separate styles.
Not a broken lot in the number. .
Each of the styles is complete in sizes usually bought for such styles.
There are eight full Louis covered heels.
Their retail designations, by which many customers will recognize them, are
as follows:
Style 305, brown glazed kid
vamp, bronze satin top, lace
shoe, covered Louis heel.
Style 306, patent leather
vamps, black satin top, lace
shoe, with covered Louis heel.
Style 325, brown glazed
kid vamp, field-mouse glazed
kid top, lace shoe, with cov
ered, high Louis heel.
Style 326, brown glazed
kidskin vamp, brown cloth top,
lace shoe, with covered high
Louis heel.
Style 327, all gray glazed
kid lace shoe with covered
high Louis heel.
Style 328, brown glazed kid
vamp, brown cloth top, button
shoe, with high Louis heel.
Style 329, patent leather
vamp, gray glazed kid top,
button shoe, with high Louis
heel.
Style 332, dull black calf

Special Salei
nHHIS is the most welcome lot of.
! Oriental rugs we have ever re
ceived. Not only does it bring
fine, desirable weaves in notable choice
at a considerable advantage over prevailing prices,
but it comes as a happy token of returning normal
conditions.
There is something very hopeful about it, some
thing that makes one think of the glorious rising sun
of the East, from whence these fine rugs $80,000
worth have come as a good sign of the reopening
of the world's peaceful channels of trade.
The rising sun of new hope is a good symbol of
this event. At least, that is our sentiment, but we also know
of benefit to customers a sale must be strong in actual fact.
In actual fact this is the strongest sale we have been able to make in some
years. We have had larger sales, but none quite so good in price advantages.
All the rugs offered are new from the East. They are the cream of the latest
large consignments to arrive in America some of them having been four
years on the way. They are here because we watched for them and waited
for them and then went and secured them.
The bulk are carpet sizes
