TRAW
ATTINGS
We have never been able to oiler our pat
rons so many novel designs in Straw Mat
tings as we do this season.
Tner was a time when one could scarcely
;et any style in these mattings besides a
iinall check or plain white. Now they can
be seen in many "carpet effec's" closely re
leinblii g the patterns as thown in Pl'ussela
.urpets.
Probably the most unique patterns are
hose in the Jap Mattings, being double
lyed and in detached figures.
Another new texture in the Jap Matting
is that "woven upon the thread," the warp
eing hemp and the tilling of very fine
;rass. This produces the most even surface
f any scraw floor covering.
;While we have the more expensive trades,
yet we sell a reliable matting at ?5 per roll
