ORIENTAL RUG 
FUNDAMENTALS 
1. Antiques have merit only if thick, rich, 
lustrous. . . 
2. New rugs have no guarantee of merit be¬ 
cause time has not tested them. Not one 
new rug in 100 ever proved right. 
3. New rugs are sold by thousands; that is 
what they are made for. There will never 
be a famine. They meet the uneducated 
demand, are acid washed and ironed to look 
antique, and have little re-sale value. 
4. Were demand educated to antiques only, the 
supply is such that no rug dealer could 
continue. 
I meet the educated demand. Some of my rugs 
have been used for plates in rug books. I carry 
no new rugs. 
Write for list and then order quickly. I will 
send selection on approval and pay express both 
ways.

NOTES OF COLOUR 
A fter youVe bought the right rug, 
and put on the right wall-paper, 
and are satisfied at last with your furni¬ 
ture arrangement—then comes that 
most important thing, the color notes 
to give your room character and charm. 
T he glowing lamp shade, the bril¬ 
liant runner, the flash of a scarlet 
lacquer box, a pair of gleaming brass 
candlesticks reflected in a perfect mir¬ 
ror—these give a warmth and intimacy 
that nothing else can produce. 
A nd yet—unless you have access to 
the best shops of a few large cities 
—there is nothing harder to obtain.

these things. For House & Garden
