BUYING FINE 

 ORIENTAL RUGS 



right is a solved problem; proof — In March I 

 sold an antique "Veritable Tekke" for $35; an- 

 tique Bergama, $200 ; extremely rare undoctored 

 Kerman, $155; antique glossy and thick Kazaks 

 as low as $60; antique Belooch, $25; antique Sara- 

 band, $60; fine Tabriz, $85; antique Hamadan, 

 $40; and rare antique carpets also at sane prices. 



I could sell ordinary Bokharas, Kazaks, Shir- 

 vans, and others, from $15 to $25, but I do not 

 carry doctored, nor shoddy stuff, nor other trash 

 such as modern oriental caipets. 



I am a rug lover working for rug lovers ; my 



monograph, "Fallacy and Fact," shows what I am 



doing for the "Square Deal" among them. To 



others it is 25c; to those in sympathy it is free.

TEXAS FIGS ARE WORLD'S FAIR WINNERS 



The famous fig preserves made at Aldine, near Houston, are the finest and 

 best known in the world. One important thing which must not be overlooked 

 is that fig orchards never fail to produce large, profitable crops here. 



One Acre Set in Figs and One Town Lot, both for 



$230, Payable $10 down and $10 per month, 



without interest, no payments when sick ; 



clear warranty deed in case of death. 



Local cash market for fruit. Single crop pays for land and lot. Money back 

 in four years with annual income thereafter for life. Better than banks, bonds, 

 or life insurance. If you want to enjoy life in South Texas under your own " vine 

 and fig tree," or make a small, safe, profitable investment, write for full particu- 

 lars. Agents wanted. Will plant oranges if preferred.
