New Lamps.
We are showing this week in
our windows a brand new as
sortment of halidsoine lamps,
with decorated bowls and
Bhades. These are just the
thing for parlor use, at once
ornamental and useful.
The showing consists of some
six patterns, strictly new, up-
to-date lamps purchased direct
from the factory that makes
them in order to secure the best
prices, and lamps and prices
are certain to be satisfactory to
you, if you are needing goods
of this kind.
Few articles of ornament
equal the decorative value of a
handsome lump. If your par
lor lacks this ornament, get one
from this lot and you will be
gratified at the result in your
home. But don’t wait too long,
get it now. Prices, $1.25, $2,
$8, $8.50, $5. Lamps at all
prices, Parlor, Kitchen, Hall,
Library. Lamps of glass and
metal, plain and decorated.
In addition to the above we
have in our windows this week
some of the most handsome
pressed glass bowls ever shown
in Newnan. The pattern is
such as to show up with the
brilliancy of cut glass. The
bowls are of good weight, and
perfectly clear. Look at them.
Prices, 25c, 40c, 75c, $1.00.
