CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS!
Some Beautiful New Styles Just Added to
the Larue Stock on Hand.
\
You have heard a great deal about the advance on Carpets in
consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told;
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen die burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell vou
Carpets AS LOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sdl for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.
