Half- Year Carpet Sale. Starts Thursday Morning. Deg! AND JULY we clean house—the carpet store house—of all odd rolls, part rolls, remnants, and if by chance a whole big lot has proven a slow seller, that goes, too. Prices Are Reduced 20 to 60 Per Cent As a rule—shorter the piece, the shorter the price we put on it, though whole rolls are marked at prices below present costs to us—some are far below. To get the best out of such a sale, you should bring the measure- ments of several rooms. For instance—a charming carpet for the sitti room might be found in the lot—part of a roll. If you knew pretty near oy a what yards you needed, you could decide and get it. And the reel sitting-room carpet could be put on a bedroom. Do you catch the idea? Or, if you know the size of all your bedrooms, you can often change carpets around. “4 But there are carpets for all sorts of rooms—probably : Forty-cight Thousand Yards ranging in price from 40c. for the 55c. Tapestry Brussels to $1.50 for the $2 Axminsters. We’re talking of full rolls, from which you can what you please—except that we will not let you leave us with a bad- remnant, for we do sell remnants at a deplorable loss, and lots of them are _|included in this sale, There are Ingrain Carpets foras little as 30c.a yard. — Third Floor, Plain Facts About the White Sale. ; MILLION DOLLARS! worth of muslin underwear and other white goods are owned by us. The greater part of this vast stock was accumulated for this January selling. z Muslins and linens are going much higher—wholesalers and makers are charging very much greater As stores sell out the lots on hand you will face the full advance. a But present stocks were bargained for long ago—some before advances began; all befor: :hey had) amounted to much. Any housewife is justified in laying in a year's supply of muslins and linens—and she will make (by saving) a good many times the interest paid by savings banks, So much of our stocks were secured below even the old low prices that January Prices are Lower Than Ever We believe this month’s business will be the best test yet of this store. The reality of its economign, the blunt candor and directness of its statements, are to be contrasted with many pretended bargain sales, Will you prove the store, once again for all?
