DID YOU

DID YOU
Ever Stop to Think
How much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful? 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the old familiar pictures. How
much can be done to beautify them by Just
changing their old faded and stained mats
by nice new ones These can be secured
at Quimbys Art Rooms at tritiing
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home. If you feel
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning as complete as possible why
not have fewof the Old dingy ,dust-grimmed
frames replaced with new ones? This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come in the low priced grades. The art of
moulding manufacture has progressed won
derfully in recent years and among the va
riety of late styles that may be seen at
Quimbys art rooms 1.-The largest assortment
ever carried in the kennebec Valley--are
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices. and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames.
Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until YOU see his mouliings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think of having q new
frame for family portrait The fiashy frame
that you bought from a glib-tongued agent,
and thought was such splendid bargain,
has begun u show its real quality. Its
joints are sprung, il looks old and warped
and dingy and you feel tina, il was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
a fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
same amount of money will buy you a
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade,
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
dngy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
out Of its old frame and place IT in one of
these you will add much TO the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire a moderate priced frame you cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimby has very wide
range of mouldIngs at varying prices and
can give you a tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.
