ANTIQUE RUGS ARE RARE.
Not More Than Two Hundred in
This Country Are Genuine,
Says An Experienced
Dealer.

One OF the most experienced men
in the rug business recently made
the assertion that there are not
more than two hundred genuine
antique rugs in the country. hose
who own them hold on to them, for
their value increases every day. To
be antique a rug must be least
one hundred years old.
Because it looks dingy and is
high priced is by no means a guar
antee that the rug is a genuine
antique, and many who have prided
themselves on the ownership of
such an article would be sadly
disappointed if they had it examin-
ed by an expert and were informed
that it was the ordinary kind made
in this country and had been
"doctored' to make it appear old.
The finest rugs come from Persia
and are named after the provinces
in which the knots are tied as a
guide TO the province. They look
30 much alike it is difficult to tell
the difference. The manner of MAX
ing them, too, dates back centuries
and the colors endure forever. The
people of India neither invent nor
initiate, for the old methods are the
best and they stick to them as kng
as they live. -
The colors Of these rua never
fade. While the dust may soften
their original tints, the primal
quality Is never lost. They can be
cleaned time and again without
injury to color or texture.
The people of India are excellent
at copying and will reproduce an
original rug so perfectly that it is
hard to tell the difference. They
always get the best effects.
Antique rugs are very expensive,
They cost hundreds and thousands
Of dollars and $S,OoOVr $4,000 is
not considered exorJ liant for a
good-sized rug.
Nearly all of the old tterns are
being repeated and are bN Nc used,
with the.rXception Of those in the
mosques, copies OF which are ~
permitted.
The Armenians have demoralized
the rug trade by bringing over a
great number OF counterfeit rugs in
recent years. They use mineral
dyes and the weaving is not as
s <ilful.-EX.

partially true of the pineapple

more profitable when cultivated on

syndicate naturally turn to sugar

made enormously profitable. But
Cuba to-day stands in great need
