It Is Believable That
to Be on the Side of Truth
Is Much More and Better Than
the old jnethod of making an effort to get a half or
part truth to back up your side.
To be the most thorough in search of truth and
the exactest, truest and fairest in presenting it has
been the indefatigable study and purpose of some
leaders of business for more than half a century.
J
There is no good reason why every line of an
honorable merchant's publications, labels, tickets
should not be in the whitest of all lights.
Why should merchants lower the reputation of
their c&lling by dancing on a tight rope to attract
spenders of money?
Women's Suits- and Br
k Which $50 fill Buy

simpler.
On both suits and dresses there is a saving of
$5 to $12.50.

The Splendid Selection of Mahal and
Serapi Carpets in the Oriental
Rug Sale
Serapis are the product of a mountain tribe who have resisted outside influ
ences. Consequently their rugs show a bold and striking individualness'in design and
color effects. They are easily distinguished by their marked contrasts of 'red, blue,
ecru and ivory and by the vividness of the pattern, of which arabesque designs are
generally a feature.
The Mahals also are rugs of richness and warmth of tone, but in these the con
trasts are less emphatic and the general tone more soft and subdued, deep reds, blues
prevailing, while ecru is the prevailing shade in many.
It is believed that the choice of Serapis and Mahals at 30 to 50 jer cent less
than regular in this Sale is unmatched.
