Sale of CREX RUGS
These good vugs are favorably known all oveY the country—made of grass artis-
tically wooven in plain and fancy patterns. They are unequaled for wear and retain
their colors and good looks indefinitely. The price at which they sell is standard
everywhere---a cut on Crex rugs is almost unheard of. A month or so ago the big
Crex Rug Co. warehouse in New York caught fire. While practically no stock was
damaged by fire, some rugsi were water stained—some were not damaged at all. Our
New York buying combination was fortunate enough to secure a part of this stock---
bought it way under value. The only damage any of these rugs show is a slight water
stain along one edge---perhaps not over two inches wide and most of this can be remov-
ed with a stiff brushing---in fact it is almost unnoticeable and would hardly be seen
unless attention was called to it. Prices are just about what these rugs cost whole-
sale—you can imagine what saving is offered. They come in both plain and figured:

Cheap Paint
There are 1000 “cheap” paints
and a dozen really cheap ones.
1 hat double word cheap is the
cause of wasting more money
than good paint costs, two or
three times over.
Cheap paint is good paint;
there is no other; no other is
cheap.
The two words sound alike
but their meanings are Opposite.
“Cheap” costs double. Cheap
is Devoe. adv.
W. D. Bagley & Co. sell it.
The Reporter calls attention to
the ad of T. M. Williams’ New

issue. Mr. Williams has been in
this business about three months,
having bought the Pulerbaugh
stock on South Main street,
under the Masonic Hall. He
reports a nice business, but of
course wants more, and invites
.vour patronage through The
Reporter this week.
