WANAMAKER'S
CHINA CONTRIBUTES DISTINCTIVE
WEAVES TO THE ORIENTAL RUG SALE

The individual quality of Chinese
rug is part of it's charm-a large part
1t reveals itself in color and in design.
Those remarkable blues, tawny yellows,
golden browns and pinkish hues seem to
have some distinctive characteristic
which makes them unlike any other
shade in the whole family of colors. 1t
stands to reason that color effects of such
kind should hold unique possibilities as
adjuncts in schemes of decoration. In
fact, they harmonic and fit in where
almost any other piece would fall short
of producing the maximum effect.
Chinese weaves are most attractive
feature of our Oriental rug stocks. We
have a goodly number of them marked
at exceptionally low prices in our Sale.
They are typical of the best rugs pro-
'duced in China today, and anybody likely
to need weave of this kind should make
it point to see them.
Sizes 1898 feet to 24.7x12 feet at
