More talk of
Mattings.

This phenomenal Mating business
enthuSeS us.
For this new Mating store to Jump
right in and take the lead in Mating
selling is indeed gratifying.
Our first months business was very
good Our second was better by a
hundred Per cent Our third, we'll,
ii II keeps up at the present rate it
will go At least three hundred per
cent. ahead of last month
Phenomenal.
We want to impress upon the mind
OF Mating wanterS that
We sell only fresh Mattings
and that we sell them for
less than Others charge for
last years left-overs.
The eleven-dollar mating that we
sell at nine dollars, and talk SO much
about, is only specimen of what
Mating values really are, here.
Every roll that we show is offered
TO you for less than the same grades
are oiTered by any other dealer.
Yes, OF course, the dealers COM
plain. You can hardly blame them.
Ietwe know that YOU will agree with
us that Mating prices have always
been too high.
So, we lowered them.
