= Manufacturers’ Sale Of = RUGS At W. J. Wright’s Big Furniture Store This is a Rug Age Carpets are harder to clean, more difficult to take up and put down, wear out quicker, and in many other ways do not give the comfort and satisfaction that rugs do. Rugs are being adopted everywhere and they are rapidly taking the place of carpets in Jasper county. A few years ago a local dealer would handle from two to a half-dozen rugs in a season; now we are ordering them by the dozens. This fall I was fortunate to secure the entire Sample Line of a large eastern manufacturer. They are rugs that were hung up to show to dealers, and are the choicest patterns and textures. They are in no manner soiled; they were exhibited at the factory just as the dealer exhibits them in his store, and they are the finest rugs ever shown in Northwestern Indiana. The figure at which I purchased them makes it possible to sell them at a substantial decrease ia price, and I have decided to give purchasers the advantage of my good fortune. Commencing Saturday, Oct. 2, and Continuing Until Friday Night, Oct. 22, These rugs will be on sale at a big price reduction, and I am very anxious that you do not fail to come in and take advantage of the bargains. They consist of Velvets, Wiltons, Axministers, Tapestrys, Body Brussels, Fiber Rugs, Art Squares and Small Rugs; in fact everything in the rug line, and constitute by far the largest line ever shown in this county, and in the following sizes: 6x9, 7-6x9, 8-3xlo-6, 9x12, 10-6x12, 10-6x13-6, and a large number of small rugs. Whatever I advertise I will make good, and I advertise these as real rug bargains, which buyers will readily recognize as actual reductions worth taking advantage of. This is the busiest rug buying season of the fall, and I have chosen a sale period when you are most apt to want to buy, and will place the finest line for your inspection you ever saw and at the best prices you ever saw. Both the Regular and the Sale Price will be marked on every rug, also the size of the rug. During this sale I want to have every person call in and see the arrangement of my furniture store, and see the splendid method employed for displaying the rugs, so that you can see many of them at one time and make a comparison of prices and patterns. You will be welcomed at the store at any time. Don’t forget that this sale begins Saturday, Oct. 2, and that this will afford you a chance to get Real Rug Bargains. Come in, whether you buy or not. W. J. WRIGHT, Rensselaer, Indiana

H. E. Hoover came from his farm in Ohio last week. He reports an exceptionally good oats crop averaging 50 bushels, but the corn not so good will only make 45. Elias Julian returned Saturday from Windfall, where he had spent two weeks building a new corn crib to partially hold the enormous corn crop raised on his farm by his son-in-law, Charlie Roush. He reports 100 acres of his corn that will easily make 60 bushels. Mel Julien and wife were called to Grass Creek Monday by the death of Mrs. Julien’s father, Harry Haselby.
