The Great Thanksgiving Sale Continues.


 We began here yesterday morning special sale of beautiful linens, china and glassware, and all the necessary furniture for the dining room-it was veritable Thanksgiving sale of all things now in your minds eye.
 The observance of Thanksgiving Day means festivty.
 Festivity requires that the dining-room should be furnished at its best, Generally the fine damask and cut glass and china ware and fine dining-room furniture are pretty dear things so among ourselves we said (that was about ten weeks ago), "Let's have good Thanks giving sale."
 So one buyer went to market and bought the best cut glass he could buy in large quanti- ties where he could save good slice of the ordinary wholesale cost
 Another buyer went and bought table damask-that was the luckiest purchase for since then flax has gone a jumping, and the mills abroad have less raw material than the demand requres-it is a case of demand greater than supply.
 Which always means bigger prices.
 In Belfast and Dundee the price of linen, tow and flax is dear. Apropos of this, The New York Commercial says ''Since November I st the advance is about E per cent
 It prophecies that this is only small part of what must come. Continuing the Com mercial says: "'The advance in cotton is even greater than in flax The Commercial is a conservative paper and what it says must be needed.
 Come to this sale in anticipation of all that you need for the coming year.
 And the furniture man also made special trip to Grand Rapids--said to different concerns: ''How much do you want for those quartered oak dnng-room tables and those china closets and those dining chairs? How much3 Ahem, too much-give you so much.' Manufac- turer said: "All right, go ahead; it's late in the season, we are glad to get rid of them
 And so it happens that the furniture too is here cheap.
 All things told of Sunday are still on sale.
