citation of prices, but by peculiar
and unbusiness-like conditions born
of the panic-merchants have can.
celled orders of months back and
the mills have great lots of goods
thrown back on their hands to swell
the piles that are stored every
where. These turned-back lots
were at our beck and call and al
ways at price-concessions. But
these conditions are changing. The
market for fabrics is opening again
and indications point to an early
scarcity in many lines. Hence, It's
wise to buy now.

Saving is not the first conSidera-
ton in CARPET buying---to getre-
liable colors and wares is the chief
concern; then, to get them at an
economical price. Most any of our
stores would sell you guaranteed
reliability---if they only knew. It's
taken us years and years to arrive
at perfect carpet knowledge. AS to
prices---he who sells most can buy
cheapest; can have the mills run on
his orders with no intermediate pro-
fits. We know the carpetbusiness---
been at it % years, and are quite
sure no Richmond house sells nearly
so much. Compared with last
years values prices run this way
