  MR.

   more

   MR. 
  CROSSLEY, 
  whose 
  Colonial 
  interiors 
  are 
  known 
  throughout 
  the 
  country. 
  

   Nevertheless, 
  we 
  have 
  struck

  "

  Stuffs, 
  

   wall

  sug- 
  

   gested 
  by 
  these 
  gentlemen. 
  

  

  Our 
  profit 
  is 
  as

  as

  muslin. 
  

  

  Therefore, 
  send

  your
