Other Rug connoisseurs were of manner in which these superb Rugs were bought. Now, just about a year later, we present a vastly more remarkable opportunity to buy Rugs of the same make, at LOWER prices than we ourselves PAID for the Rugs we bought last year. Far from discontinuing the making of Rugs, Lawton & Co. are branching out into other parts of the Orient. To be unhampered in their operations they wished to sell the remaining stocks of Amritsar Rugs in the ware- houses in Paris and London, and in bonded warehouses in New York, at whatever price was necessary to affect an absolute clean-up. And, by virtue of our very large Rug business, we were able to buy the whole quan- tity of 687 Rugs for spot cash.
