Our large stock of Carpets
in the new fall designs and
colorings are especially pleasing
this season. Our large and
well-lighted salesrooms give
you ample opportunity for cor
rect selections, and our prices
are the lowest in the market.
You can get suited here-over
400 patterns to select from.
If you need a Palor Carpet
buy a Moquette.
For a medium priced Parlor
Carpet nothing is SO effective
as a "Moquette. Some house
keepers object to their sweep
ing off," It's the "fuzz" you
sweep off at first, there's plenty
of the body and material left
to wear you for years, and it
will do it too. Don't be
alarmed at a Moquette not
wearing, if you buy good
one-some small dealers who
sell them by samples may give
you that impression. The
goods are here for you to see
and examine, in magnificent
designs and colorings.
We think them to-day the
most effective Parlor Carpet
made for the money, and can
refer any customer fifty houses
in this town where they are in
satisfactory wear from us. Over
?, 500 yards were sold by us
last spring of these popular
goods. We sell none but

First and foremost, GOman is mans

Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in
illness, endures his fretfulness and

! Because she win stick to him through

Because without her he would be
rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and
consideration.
Because she can with him, endure
pain quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because, on her breast, he can shed
tears of repentance, and ne is never re-

Because when he is behaving like a

at times with no reason in the world
for it, woman's soft word, touch or

Because without her as an incentive
