ORIENTAL RUGS
Sold at Prices Lower Than Ever Before in Portland
Artistic Floor Coverings for Rug Collectors
Oriental rugs are made in Asia Minor and, Asia proper. Mighty few Yankees and few Europeans pene
trate to the real interior markets of the East, where the home-made rugs are brought in. and sold for the first time.
The country is wild, travel difficult, the inns are barbarous and the traveler is exposed to robbers and cut throats.
A few American agents have gone over to Persia and other rug-producing countries thinking to buy the rugs
direct from private families and the weavers that made them. This was a creditable American scheme to reduce
the high cost of Oriental rugs and knock out a few of the unwashed, brown-complexioned, turban-headed mid
dlemen. But the agents who' risked their own necks and endured the torment of travel in the wild East for
the sake of buying cheap rugs got little satisfaction out of their trips.' The Orientals were far too slick for them.
You can't buy a rug cheap from an Oriental, not when he knows you have torn your clothes getting to him to
buy rugs. The tales these returned Yankee rug buyers tell about the native shrewdness and trickery of the
Ori ntals is enough to make you gasp. -
Some of these tricky foreigners are selling their wares in America. Also there are many honest, reliable
foreigners in the rug trade here, but when you come to one of the tricksters in the business, then beware!
Every Oriental rug we carry has been bought by experts, who know the true Oriental rugs tuid
who are familiar with all the tricks of the trade men who have been in the business all their life
and are, therefore, able to secure the pure Oriental rugs at their real worth. This enables us to
offer our customers a wonderful collection of these artistic rugs at prices as low as such merchandise
can possibly be sold. . . . ,
