A Carpet Twice each year we
CT, straighten up carpet
onie stocks by resolutely
selling all odd rolls and parts of rolls
that happen to be on hand, and also
any particular style that has not sold
as rapidly as it should.
These sales embody very decided
economy and have come to be eager
ly looked for by people in town and
out of it.
Carpet stylesI What are they7
Each year the manufacturers bring
out new ones, but the newness seems
to be more to tempt storekeepers to
buy than any demand on your part
for changes. Your carpet is pretty
as long as it keeps bright and fresh,
is it not? Well then, these half
year clearances are economical in the
broadest sense. You have simply to
pick out whatever prettiness attracts
your eye and pay less-very much
less-than usual for it. We said
some of the lots were small. So
they are-possibly less than forty
yard roll of some styles, so it is well
to have your room measurements
with you when you come that you
may be able to take advantage of the
choice savings-for as rule shorter
the piece shorter the price.
January has come to be the most
interesting shopping month in the
year-that is, most interesting ex-
cept December. Of course it is fun
choosing Christmas gifts, but we
choose these after Christmas weeks
for very large movements in mer-
chandise and by planning ahead we
bring great lots of goods to town at
less than usual prices. Almost every
day now the Philadelphia papers will
be telling of special lots of Shoes for
men and women, Clothing for men
and women, and dress goods by the
yard, at less than usual prices.
