PURCHASING AGEN 



THE decreasing buying power of the dollar that is stimulating 

 thrift in many worthy directions is apt to induce some housewives 

 to sacrifice quality in an attempt to save. This is false economy. 

 When you buy Whittall Rugs remember that excellence of materials 

 and conscientious manufacture insure many, many 

 years of service and that, judged by this greatest 

 of all economical tests — durability — Whittall 

 Rugs actually cost you less.

 ment and beauty of design of these substantial 

 floor coverings — sent free on request.
