Business Is most excellent, he says, and in hie own par, ucuar line, remaraaoiy active. . "People of Spokane are quick to ap preciate the beautiful and art la tic." Mr Atlyeh remarked, "and Juat aa ready buyera of oriental productions aa am those of the coast cities and country Our house at Spokane haa had a moat prosperous season, and when I left there waa no apparent reason to surmise that there would be any abatement In It business, at least not . until after ' the first of the year." , "A leading magaslne and the New York World have been dlacuaslng orlen tal ruga tq a rather earnest manner of late," waa ougganted to Mr. Atlyeh, and ha waa asked If It were true that any eonalderable number of ancient or antique . ruga are Imported Into, thla country. . . . ' '. ' ' . ; "If you mean," was his reply, "thoae faahioned and woven 100 or 200 yeara ago, and once the property of some high potentate,' for example,, the shah of Persia, sultan of Turksy or government official, I answer, no. Such tarely reach . America, and If they do, soon become the property of some pub lio . museum or multl-mllllonalre. One could quickly count their . number, and they never are found on sale In the stores west of New. York, and not even there exposed to puMlc gase. " But If you mean antique rugs owned by the ordinary cltlsene of Persia. Turkey er neighboring . countries, and prised by their owners, not for their tntrtnsto value, but for their antiquity and be cause they have been In the family for a few generations, I answer that there are a few Importatlone of thta claaa, But the eupply became practically ex haueted long ago, and . honest ' dealera make no claim now that they have thess In any great numbers. .The . truth Is that eentlmental orlentaia attach fic titious valuee to rugs they have had In their poasesston for any considerable time, and bold on to them as a mother to her child. Perhaps you may know that In large meaaure the value of an oriental rug la meaaured by the originality of Its design. Of course, the first rugs wsre entirely original, but as time : paaeee weavers pick up points from one an other. Improve and better their work, until their produotlone of the last 10 years it would be almoat impossiote to excel. -But there is not a rug on .this coast, nor has there ever been, that any shah of Persia, er any sultan of Turkey ever saw, or that ever belonged to any oriental official or other person of orVntal note." : 1 . "It iaa been liberally advertised that auch haa been aold In .

These are unmercifully swindled, and the consignee merchant feltct tatea hlmaelf on hla cunning and ability to fleece the nnauapectlng. But auch merchandlelng la short lived. The 'akin game' tn thta business never proves profitable in the end. It Is. tn fact, exceedingly essential that the utmost honesty be at all tlmee employed, be cause we are selling to a majority of our patrons something they know little of, and must, df heceaalty, depend upon our word for Us quality and value. : As a commercial proposition,'' It does tiot pay to cheat the publhv end eepeclaly In our, line.
