 It is hardly necessary to advise peo- pie to go to the Big Curio store for Indian blankets. That has for years been the headquarters in the south west for Navajo blankets. It has been the place where they could be bought cheaper than anywhere else and the place where one could know that he was getting a genuine Navajo. These blankets are now under the reduction sale rule. Now is the time to get them for next year they will be more expen- siye than at the late regular price even. A year ago the Indians were left with a great deal of native wool on their hands, on account of the fall ing away of the demand for wool in the eastern markets. It is different this year. The wool buyers are SCOUT ing the entire west for wool and the Navajos. except the blanket weaving families will have none on hand. It is therefore predicted that Navajo blan- kets next season will be costlier than they have ever been since the great demand for them was created.
