Only very few people fully realize how de-
hshtfully pleasant house may be made by the
use Of few summer nxings We have q guam
tty OF such fxinss. not the least important Of
which are light and airy draperies, wire
window screens, light window shades, loose COW
ers. canopies and mosquito netting. little
money will go q great way in these articles II
properly expended We know Of nc more proper
place than here. In fact. we aim to make IL the
most proper place. We are reapins the benefit
Of our well-directed efforts, for we have been
unusually successful this season with loose
covers. screens and shades. and the season has
hardly begun
Take loose covers. We began by improving
the linen. Importeds finer quality and one
that has no wrong side. thus making Il cut TO
better advantage. Dust will get into the par
Tor in summer, screen or no screen, and the
money you spend in loose covers will pay for
themselves in the saving to the furniture.
Our Furniture Linens are smooth finished
and can be used over the finest and most delicate
fabrics without fear Of injury. No one can
furnish and make loose-covers for less than our
prices. We have q man ready to send TO your
house, measure your furniture whether il he

mate of the cost If you would rather sew your

Take Window Shades. There is nothing more
vexatious in the appointments of room than
an ill-fitting and poorly reconstructed Window
Shade. Our Window Shades are made in our
factory on the fifth floor. We have men Of ex-
experience and capability. and our work rooms
are fitted with every facility for prompt and
thorough work. We use the "Hartshorn Patent
Shade Clasps" and the Hartshorn Patent
Spring Roller. which produce q better shade
than any other. The running of a shade de-
ponds great deal upon the way it is hung.
Allow US to put them up and We will guarantee
them to run lightly, freely, and straight We
take measures and furnish estimates free
of charge and if our prices are not the least we
do not expect to receive your order.

facture all we sell. Ready-made shades at 43c.
TAKE WINDOW SCREENS. We have sold
hundreds and hundreds Of the 25c Window
Screens without word being received of their

itself to the window by means Of a spring at
the sides, which gives an unobstructed view
We are bearing down the greatest on screens to

the best satisfaction. We use the best wire
and hard wood. and guarantee perfect-fttipg
