4m Extraordinary Sale of Silks
A" Dog Crossing a
Stream on a Plank
with a large mouthful of meat, ,
happened to see his own shadow in
the water, and, believing it to be
nnother dog, was greedy enough to
lean over and try to catch the meat
out of the mouth of the other dog,
whereat he dropped the piece in his
mouth, which sank to the bottom, and
by his greediness he lost everything.
Excessive greed, heedlessness,
negligence and want of thought often
mislead men, as well as dogs.
The lessons of the recent war
have proven that great monarchs
may be overtaken by undue eager
ness to extend territory.

constantly try to secure the finest silks on the market to sell at
prices as much below the market as it was possible to have them.
Monday we open this remarkable sale in fulfillment.
These are the goods it brings
7200 yards of Georgette crepe in the desired colors, $1.75 a
yard, a saving of about 40 per cent.
7000 yards of crepe de chine in the desired colors at $2 a yard,

$2.25 a yard,, a saving of a little less than 50 per cent.

stocks and lowered to $1.85, a saving of more than 25 per cent.

MOMMY A REMARKABLE LIEM SALEM
The First of Its Kind
Since Pre- War Days
I
to 50 I
TO THE extent of our knowledge we
can say that this is the first suc
cessful attempt since the opening
of the great war made by any retail
merchant to offer to the public high
grade Irish and Scotch household linens
at such reductions in prices, or any
thing near them.
The public will see in it exactly what
it is a wonderful fulfillment of their
avoffi s 25
i Ceit
hope that whenever and wherever it is
possible to bring prices any lower Wan amaker's will do it!
How glad we should feel if we could say that, so far as linens are concerned,
this is the break in the clouds. But that would be to assume a little too much and
perhaps raise extravagant hopes.
In the matter of shortage of raw materials the linen business has been par
ticularly hard hit. The reason is in two words Belgium and Russia, but espe
cially Russia, normally the world's chief dependence for flax supplies.
In Ireland and Scotland the looms are still going only part time in many
cases three days a week. It is bound to be some time before anything like norntkl '
conditions return to stay, but there is undoubtedly a noticeable improvement.
In the meantime we are working to get all pure flax linens we can to sell at
lowered prices, and we are working to some advantage, as proven by such offer
ings as these.
500 yards 70-inch Irish linen table damask,
$2.50 a yard.
Double damask tablecloths, at 40 to 60
per cent below regular. Two patterns, a plain
satin band, now very popular, and a floral
effect.
There are just over 200 of these cloths in
quantities of 15 to 85 of a size.
2x2 yards at $13.76.
2x2yfe yards, $17.50.
Towels and
2100 hemstitched huckaback linen towels,
20x36 inches, 85c each.
1200 hemmed linen towels, for glassware,
22x34 inches. 90c each.
