ORIENTAL RUGS 
A/eu; Collection Just in Time to 
Relieve the Scarcity 
OR reasons that are apparent. Oriental Rugs are very scarce 
at this time. Here and there one may buy them, but the 
general limitation as to sizes and design only confirms the 
story of impoverished selections. 
Thus, unusual importance attaches to this latest consignment of 
Oriental Rugs, especially as it is characterized by all the attractions 
of a representative collection—beauty of coloring, diversity of design, 
and sizes varied to the needs of those who buy them. 
There are heroic sizes for a wide sweep of room—in-between sizes 
for irregular spaces—mat sizes that go anywhere—and "contrary" 
sizes for spaces that modern standardized measurements cannot fill. 
And through them all runs the fascinating mystery and symbolism or 
the East, and a moral that the West may take to heart,—the moral 
of devotion to fine workmanship, which is "the enemy of discontent 
and the redemption of the unhappy." 
Do not miss seeing this collection , for these rugs are 
an inspiration to look and an investment to oum
