ne carpet lued CAME from
the East. Solomon had Car
pets-a legendary silken Car
pet among them that would
convey him and his court any
where at will. But the Carpet
star moving westward has fixed
its Empire in America and its
court in this city. 1t is claimed
that a single ward in Philadel-
phia produces more Carpets
than all England.
Be that as it may, we started
in some years ago to give this
city a real Carpet Store. The
work is accomplished as our
corps Of Carpet Knights-true
knights of sales, will show you
if you challenge them.
1t is not invidious to tell you
the well-known truth that the
great-great-stock of Carpets
is assembled here
No business remains at a
permanent point. Failure to
progress is decadence. That's
commonplace, but important
we know it. you know it.
Hence no backward steps here.
We open the Fall sales with all
the new Carpets Of each sort
and in all grades.
The tendency just now is
toward low tones and soft tints
of color. There is some dispo-
sition for plain Carpets-estne-
tic colors. The walls and fur
niture will control choice. Our
duty. now that you are opening
up the home again, preparing
for the domestic comfort and
social life of the Winter, is to
tell you that your Carpet ques-
tions can be best settled here
and you probably haze Carpet
questions.
The prices are always the
least in the market. All short
quantities go to the Remnant.
Room, a prolific Bargain spot,
where made-up Carpets and
quantities for single rooms slip.
away at a third off. Passe styles
are forced out the first year and
thus the stock is always fresh,
clean, novel.
Wiltons, Administers, Mo-
quettes, Velvets, Brussels, Tap
estries and Ingrains are here in
force, so are Rugs-Smyrna
Rugs (made in town. choice
Scotch Administers, and Orien-
tai Rugs rare and valuable.
