MAA. THERE are several sorts
AdIIlllg of stores-young stores
that simply buy as best they can
in the home markets: take-chance
stores that buy anything and keepat
it until they are found out, and one
store that doesn't take chances,
isn't confined to any one market,
and which is always willing to fere-
go profits on individual lots or lines
of goods, if necessary to protect its
public.
Weare thinking Of Mattings. First
productions for this year were not
good. We wouldn't take the goods.
They were sold. though, far and
wide.
A tedious wait for new and right
sorts-same patterns in many cases
as the rejected lots, but right in
straw and making. This lost time
from selling. We must force a
seasons business into few weeks.
1t won't be a profitable season to
us, but it shall be to you
because the goods are better than
ever
because we must sell at too little
prices to move quickly our great
lots.
Three hundred and thirty-five
rolls of China Mating, ten styles
8 seamless, 2 jointed. Value by
any fair standard, 81. Today, $3.50
a roll.
Nineteen styles Japan and China
Mating at$8 roll-a material
saving.
Twenty-three styles China Mat
ting, small figures, closely
woven, seamless. SO roll.
