Oriental Rug Essentials 
WITHOUT WHICH, NOTHING: 
1. Honesty: Age proves 
merit; new rugs are acid- 
washed, ironed. Old rugs 
were better made, finer 
material, no aniline dye. 
2. Quality: Thick like plush, 
rich in color, no blending, 
no stain. 
3. Beauty: No raw tones, 
velvety luster and texture, 
artistic design. 
4. Condition: No holes, no 
worn spots, no ragged 
edges or ends. 
5. Fineness: Not a factor ex¬ 
cept between rugs of same 
name, and then only when 
other factors equal. We 
can not compare Anatoli¬ 
ans with Persians; we buv 
both and for different 
reason. 
6. Rarity: Buy no rug for 
rarity of name; buy only 
rarity of Jieauty, quality, 
condition. 
My rugs arc their own salesmen, war¬ 
ranting my paying express. 
My customers are experts who do not 
look elsewhere anymore. 
Write for descriptive list. Rugs sent on 
approval for inspection without any obliga¬ 
tion to buy.
