arc quoting -higher
prices than we paid for
the rugs in this unusual
sale.
Therefore the values are
more attractive than the
actual reductions indicate,
though the reductions are
10 to 30 iicr cent.
We have told you that we
cannot control cost of pro
duction, which has b'een
steadily rising; but we can
and do buy direct from the
mills at the lowest prices the
mills quote for any store.
And our orders .are placed
and shipments received
earlier than those of most
other stores. We own our
great stock of Rugs at lower
cost than to-day's prices at
the mills we have recently
received many notifications
of an advance in wholesale
prices. That is why we say
the savings on the
Hundreds of Standard and
Summer Rugs at Reduced
Prices
Are even greater, in hundreds
of instances, than tho reductions
on the price-tickets wouW indi
ct. Is it any wonder, then,
that the Sale is a crreat succpsk
exceeding by far the business of
last April? Here are several
hundred STANDARD and
AMERICAN RUGS at 30 per
cenf reduction; hundreds more,
including SUMMER RUGS, nt
15 por cent reduction, and still
larger numbers at n lesser re
duction, but exceedingly attrac
tive because our regular prices
were based upon lower cost than
present mill quotations.
A special lot of CHINESE
RUGS in the Sale at SO per cent,
under price, and the remainder of
our stoc; of Chinese Rugs (in
carpet sizes) reduced 15 per cent.
