IRISH KNEE RUGS 
These lap blankets are woven by hand 
in Ireland; they are 35 inches wide and 
57 inches Tere plus a fringe on the two 
ends. Three spinster sisters, who live in 
a wee town in County Wicklow, started weav- 
ing them on their hand looms several years 
ago in an effort to earn their own living. 
Their orders soon increased to the point 
where they hired neighbors to weave rugs 
for them in their own cottages. 
The rugs are 100% wool; most of them 
are heavyweight, but some are finer for 
children’s beds. They make excellent 
shawls and lap rugs for old folks; they 
are very attractive throw rugs for divans, 
good steamer rugs, and wonderful car robes. 
Never have we seen any merchandise of such 
a price. A year ago these rugs sold for 
$10.00; the new exchange has dropped the 
price to 
No two are alike as to color so they 
are difficult to describe. But they are all 
very attractive. We are willing to pay 
the postage east of the Mississippi for 
one exchange if the color isn’t satis- 
factory. You pay the cost of further 
changes; all changes must be made within 
fifteen days. 
The rugs come in brick red, maroon 
red, pink red, and purple red; the blues, 
purple, yellow, tan, rose, pink, brown 
and green. State whether you want light 
or medium dark shades. Most of the rugs 
have stripes near the ends, of soft blend- 
ing colors; a few are one solid color.
