The Demand for
Plain Color Carpets
The present vogue of subdued cecorative
effects has created an unusual deman. for Plain
Color Carpets.
Our displays of Plain Color Carpe s are un
equaled in America for size and variet r, Many
of the weaves are controlled by us, and are not
obtainabls elsewhere.
They embody English Barodas, Saxines, An
goras, Saxoniasand Velvets; Frenchand Domestic
Wiltons. Domestic Axminsters, Velvets and In
grains. Widths range from 27 inches to 15 feet,
depending upon the weave.
The facilities afforded by our new building
for the proper demonstration of carpets are
exceptional.
Correct measuring, making up and laying of
this type of floor covering are assured beeause
of our long experience in this class of work.
