a Name.

Thousands of yards of Smyrna"
rugs are made in Philadelphia; thou
sands more in Great Britain. The name
of carpet signifies little in these days;
even the "kidderminster," or ingram
carpet, Is no longer made in Kidder-
minister nor the Mecca prayer rug in
Mecca. Philadelphia to-day makes
more goods than all England, and she
calls them Brussels, NenetianS, Dutch,
Administers. What, indeed, is in a
manner Massachusetts produces the
highest grade Brussels, Wilton's and
ingralns. The time is past when the
fact that q carpet is of Eng lish origin
has any influence in sale. Twenty
two million dollars worth of Philadel-
phia goods are made and sold every
year, Competition Is sharp, and not
only are the yarns dOctOred with foreign
substances but the cOlors used are, i'll
many cases, reduced, when dry and old,
to mere dust, which can be literally
swept with stiff broom from floor.
\ practice which has crept into the
retail trade is this. If a buyer dIseOy-
ers that he has certain goods which are
unsatisfactory he puts a premium on
them of or 6 cents yard, and this in
duces the salesman to pay special atten-
tion to them. They are what are COM
monty known as "stIekers'' in stock,
and the purchaser Is very likely to have
this undesirable rubbish palmed of
upon him if ne is at all influenced by the
enthusiasm or assurances of the average
salesman who reaps direct extra profit
by the transaction.
