ANOTHER REASON WHY
 JARPETS ARE BUSY.

WHY
 | CARPETS ARE BUSY. The patterns are numerous, the de- signs are handsome, the colorings are beautiful and the qualities are superior in every way. There's cheerfulness as well as richness about them that some. how seems to fit any spot you wish to lay them, any room you may be trying to brighten. And at the same time the cost is trifiing to what it has been, and what it will be later on when the tariff on wool is advanced, when the cost to manufacture is increased. You'll no doubt think of a dozen reasons to our one why the opportunity is better for buying now, than waiting, as pretty much everybody has special ideas of their own when chances like the present are so easy. Quality is our main hobby.
