MOVING LIVELY NOW As stated when we opened the High GrailO Sill) mil Rtlg Sale, we were afraid that wc would find it bard to move these expensive goods, even at half price. We confess to making a mistake, for we've never had livelier selling in any department than has been the case with these rugs at just fifty cents on the dollar. True, they arc an unpre cedented bargain bargains that could not be duplicated, were it not that Kerr, Son & Ca's stock was bought at Sheriff's Sale at less than half price. The same remarks, of course, apply to our high grade Carpet stock, from which we can sell you the best Body Brussels Carpet made as low as 50 cents per yard, but It's Smyrna Rugs we're talking today, and if you're interested, pardon us for saying that it will be fo your advantage to call, for HALF PRICE OPPORTUNITIES Don't come often lo that line, and the full range of sizes won't hold out much longer. Three illustrations in values will suffice: They represent the first quality of Smyrna Hugs made: Size 18x36 in., that usually brings $1.35, sells for 87 cents. Size 30x60 in., listed at J4.25, sells for $3.12. Size 6 ft. xo ft., for small rooms, that sold for $23, goes at $1150. There's lower grades if you want them, sizes 30x60 inches, at $1.50 and J1.75 each. S. Q. KERR, Agent.- Opposite Main Entrance to Wyoming Mouse.
