concerning our first Carpet Trade Sale.
On Monday We said 1--WE never luggle
with words" That statement is re-
peated with emphasis.
Our first Carpet Trade Sale has open
ed brayely. Yesterday holiday making
seemed TO bring buyers, not to hinder
them. 1t is an assured success ltneeds
more explanation.
Dozens of our friends have been here
asking for "the reduced Carpets" We
haven't advertised piece OF Carpet re-
duced in price. The bargains Of the
Garnet Trade Sale arc ORIGINAL, not
reduced.
TRADE SALE has q definite mean
ING. II means that the carpet manufac-
tories OF the country hays been can
yassed by our buyer for bargains and
that industry and cash have assembled
here a great lot Of fine carpets at plices
that take no account OF costs and p o.
| duction.
TRADE SALE means that you can
have the proceeds OF our work-that this
September month brings you carpet
bargains extraordinary.
The only right way 10 carry out tsese
ideas is to make prices at the sharp bar
gain point originally--thats what we do,
| il is our way. The merchant who has
yet to learn the true way Of trade would
take such lots OF carpet os we have--n
he bad the knowledge, the courage, and
the cash with which 10 get them-wouid
mark them AZ GOOD round retail prices
and afterward reduce them. But our
way Is the better way IN this case
Sometimes We have goods TO reduce.
Then the case is different.
Therefore ask for the great Carpes
Bargains. Wen give them to you by
the hundreds Of dollars worth.
Don'tl Don't ask for the reduced Car
pets.
Added to
the seyenty-fye cents Brussels,
the ninety-fye cents Brussels,
the dollar and quarter Moquettes,
the fifty cents Wool Carpets
are
woven through and through, in very ex-
ouisite and dainty patterns. Some VITA
borders 10 match. The trade-sale price
is one dollar and five cents, inclnding
LAYING on the floor with padded lining.

fore rather small house.
The play, which is an adaptation from
the German, il a charming specimen OF the
modern school. Ii is full of delightfully."-
humorous situations, the characters are
well modelled, and the lines or the comedy
are distinctly brilliant.
The company is a rarely good one-just
such companv as one may see IN New
York at Daly's or the Twenty-third Street
Theatre. Il is so evenly balanced that
criticism or individual actors Is out OF
place, but an idea of the people who make
up this pleasant little play may be gath

unfortunate predilectlon for assisting dam
