=the Floor Coverings %
Only in the course of many years do we find it possible to radically cut the pi ices on
Standard Rug Lines—the purchase of the Smith stock, however, presents such an op
■ ■; portunity, and Monday we shall open the biggest floor covering sale in our history.
No “comnarative prices” are marked on the rugs because the grades are so well known
to the public, and the prices so low that anyone can see at a glance the paramount
value of any rug in the sale.

p —the Draperies
1 he Drapery Stock in this sale is very large and varied, presenting hundreds of the new
est things for Spring; this because the M. E. Smith receiver was appointed while large
shipments were in transit. In order that you may have some idea of the values offered
in this sale we are using “comparative prices” but we have been very careful to quote
only the lowest regular prices we know of and where the reduction is more than 50' c- we
have hesitated to use such a comparison. At the same time the public is entitled to
know that the sale prices are considerably below M. E. Smith & Co.’s wholesale prices.
