Laad + Seventh Street TN I il Never Too Many Lamps And what can be prettier than a home with lots of famps—a soft, cozy glow and better, light, too, by which to read or work—but there’s a whole lot in getting the right kind of lamp. The great tall mahogany lamp base with the big rose colored shade is a thing of the past now—the new lamps are shorter, about 5 feet, and called Junior size, and have the flat type shade. As you would expect, you'll find the new lamps at the Lifetime Furniture Store—base, shades and pulls harmonizing in color and design—and with the newest and largest lot of lamps to select from. {Tomorrow will be a good day—so please come.

The answer is easy: Of eourse you'll say, “Good looks” and “long wear.” Well, we agree with you there, and that’s why at Mayer’s Lifetime Furniture Store you'll find the best looking rug you ever laid your eyes on. Rugs bought with vour home in mind to give that atmosphere of elegance and to harmonize with your color scheme. Here you will find the Royal Bengal Oriental Rug Reproductions—those fine reproductions of Orientals that cannot be told from the orig- 2 inals—Rugs that have the rich, lustrous beauty, the almost inde- ‘structible wear, and yet cost but a quarter of the price of a real Oriental. All these you'll find here and the best looking lot of Wiltons, pure Worsted Wool Wiltons that wear like a piece of iron, yet have such soft beautiful colors. Then there are dozens and dozens of fine Velvets and rich, luxuriantly piled Axminsters. And prices? Well, we are going to be as pleased to tell you as you are pleased to hear that they are not as much as you would expect to pay for such rugs. For instance, there's a rich, lustrous, ‘fringed- end Wilton Rug at $98.00; a big fine Axminster in 9x12 size at $45.00, and a thick pile Velvet at $42.50. We could keep telling you of more all day, but the one best way is to see for yourself—we're happy to show you anything. o - Seventh Street Mayer @ CYO.“ Between D & E
