IS DOING AN
Immense Business
THIS YEAR,

1t seems that we are showing
popular patterns, for our business in
the Carpet Department Is nearly
double to what 1t was last year We
certainly spared no pains in choosing
our stock and we were just as partic-
ular In get ing good patterns on the
medium priced grades as on the ex-
pensive ones.
Qualities, too, were looked after
with a sharp eye and we are conf
dent that we have not a yard of un
reliable goods in the place, which
makes choosing here pleasure, az
you have only the patterns and price
to think of.
We are showing all the popular
makes from Wilton VelvetS to In.
grains and Brussels.
You certainly will make mistake
if you buy floor coverings without
first consulting our stock and prices,
