Metal Bedsteads

S22, 2SI for $I4,854

You will have to go back at
least five years to find any
sale like this. Iron, steel,
brass-they were needed for
other purposes than the
making Of beds. Manufac-
turers had to be content with
what materials they could
get. Many Of them took con-
tracts for war work.
Now they are getting back
to bedsteads.
One manufacturer of the
leaders Of the industry in the
East decided that it would help
him in several ways to start
anew if he cleaned house. So
he counted up-59S iron bed
steads, 1879 brass. And he gave
us first call on the lot at a re-
duced price. We took them.
They are the good sort of bed
steads our customers want-very,
very we'll made and durable.
And
They are the best value at
their prices that we have had
or seen in five years.
SIZES of iron beds are 3 IT,,

ivory or white enamels, in wood

1t is sign of a good chauffeur

One must study hard to do a

Taking good care of a small
sum, saved week by week, has
been in thousands of cases the

1t has been frequently stated
during the recent war that many
battles were lost and won back
in the last ha If of day of hard

Millions Of dollars worth Of beau
tiful and picturesque scarfs that for
merly adorned the heads Of Rouma-
MAN women have disappeared as :
result Of the war, many Of them be-
ing carried on by invaders. American
Red Cross workers report that re-
placing these treasured possessions Is
one Of the few services they have
been unable to render the stricken
Ronmanians, but they have promised
the next best thing, encouragement
for silk aud textile makers to re-
sumo operations that will furnish
the requisite materials.
When the war came to Roumania
there were $4,000, 900 worth Of these
scarfs on the heads Of its women.
They were varicolored, Of very fine
texture and always attracted the
travellers attention, because they
were heirlooms handed down from
mother to daughter, and great care
was taken to preserve them for gem
erations. The invading troops soon
began helping themselves to the
scarfs. and women who tried to hide
the precious adorments were usually
found out and punished.
