The unusualness of this collection lies in the great number of Oriental rugs which are outstanding examples of soft blending of colors, and that which the public seldom sees-careful and conscientious workmanship of Hknotting." The former means a rug that is pleasing to look upon, the latter, a rug that is serviceable to tread upon. . These rugs have been especially selected for North Shore people whose homes reflect their discriminating tastes in the wise choice of suitable and serviceable rug embellishments for their floors. It has been CJur aim in presenting this unusual collection between October 2 2nd and October 30th to offer to Evanston and North Shore people an opportunity to see in variety and assortment outstanding examples of the artistry of Oriental weavers.
