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 Sheriffs Sale at less than half price. The same remarks, of course, apply to our high grado 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 to your advantage to call, for HALF PRICE OPPORTUNITIES Don't come often in that line, and the fun range of sizes won't hold out much longer. Three illustrations in values will suffice: They represent tbe first quality of Smyrna Rugs made: Size 18x36 In., that usually brings Ji. 75, sells for 87 cents. Size 30x60 In., listed at $4.25, sells for $3.12. Size 6 ft. xq ft., for small rooms, that sold for $23, goes at $11 50. There's lower grades if you want them, sizes 30x60 inches, at $1.50 and jr. 75 each. Opposite Main Hntranco to Wyoming House. CALL UP 3682, MALONEY OIL and MANUFACTURING CO,, VINEGAR AND CIDER.
