RUG COLLECTION
 SOLD AT AUCTION

Pittsburgh (U.P)--A collection of valuable rugs-they cost more than $2,500, ,000 to collect-was shipped to this city recently to be sold at auc- tion. Their actual worth was set by experts at $500,O00.
 The rugs represented the hobby of the late Jacob Heyl, of Buffalo, who made a fortune estimated at $20 O00, ,000 in the piano nanufactur- ing business, but died pennileSs, leaving only the rugs to his widow and daughter.
 Heyl, his fortune apparently se- cure at 65, became interested in Oriental rugs and decided to start 8 collection. His interest soon de- veloped into an obsession, and he spent as much as $500 for rare books on the subject.
 The wealthy manufacturer made several trips to the Orient to get certain rugs, and. once had to wait until @ Sultan died before he could purchase rug he wanted.
 The collection is unique, in that there is one rug from each Oriental tribe and principality engaged in the ancient art of rugmaking- -502 in | all.
 Heyl searched five years for one piece. It was a prayer rug of Q Turkish family, witha design show ing that the family consisted of Q father, mother, five sons and one daughter.
 It took Hyl Il years to get his cole lection. Then he decided to photo graph the rugs individually. He hired an expert to teach him to take the photographs. After taking 10000 exposures, he developed pic lures that suited him.
 Heyl died in 1881 at the age of SS leaving Q 45-room house, the rugs
