Government inspected and stamped---4 pounds weight --- 66 x 84 inches--- olive drab in color * Only 7000—and a million homes in New York and vicinity need all4vool blankets! Be- cause of the limited quantity and great demand the Blanket Store will open at 7.30 Thursday morn- ing to give workers & chance with others—to stop in on their way to business. e . Remember the Winter of 1917! And the threatened shortage of coal this Winter. And the shortage of wool blankets. — These blankets at $5.80 were made of wool allotted to the American len Company by the United States Government and each blanket bears the official U, S. inspector's ticket. They weigh 4 pounds each, and their size— 66 x 84 inches—covers a full double bed. They come singly, and not in pairs, but they weigh as heavy as a pair of all-wool blankets and have in them just as much wool and warmth. * . e ' And what do you think is the retail'price to- day of a pair of 4 pounds single bed all-wool blankets —the pair only weighing 4 pounds? They sell at $16—and scarce at that! Yet we offer these all-wool blankets at $5.80. \ . e-. ° How can we do it? Well, the United States Government is offering its surplus stock of blankets, as you have read in the newspapers. The stock Uncle Sam is selling includes both new and reclaimed (used) blankets, both wool and cotton. The new &4ll-wool blankets that, Uncle Sam is reported to be offering, we understand, are greatly limited in quantity. The papers say, they vary in weight and size. And Unele Sam is asking for these new all- wool blankets, $6, but we have seen none, even at $6, just like ours. Our price is $5.80. Uncle Sam asks you to carry home his blankets—a reasonable request since he is selling them at a loss—we are advised they cost the govern- ment in quantity lots, $8.25. We deliver our blankets at $5.80 wherever our deliv- ery automobiles* run—and the extra Summer delivery reaches a circle of fifty miles. = . . . The reason that we can sell our blankets at $5.80 is because we bought them inder cost — much under ' selling its surplus stocks None of these blankets will be sold C. O.

The by toma a offered by the under cost is: ful boon to the people these days when prices are so high, and we not only join wherever the manufacturer's we urge the public to inspect the government blankets and buy what it can use—buy ahead for future needs—getting them either here or at the government's local market. i!

Two blankets could be sent by pardel post in one package costing only ta cents within the first and second zones;/ and one blanket for 9 cents. All the blankets are olive drab in color because they were made for our army; but who minds the color when all-wool blankets can be had for $5.80! They will be on sale Thursday. For quick service, in addition to the regular Blanket Store, Fourth Gallery, the blankets will be placed on the Burlington Areadeé floor, New Build- ing, reaching from Broadway to Fourth avenue. . * ° Thursday morning at 7.30!
