IT does not need the experience of the business man whose abilities are concentrated on the development of vast undertakings to enable one to realise that there are two methods of conducting and of guiding the destinies of a Great Retail Trading Concern. In Furnishing particularly, where artistic development advances year by year with such wondrous strides, it is easy to see that the old-fashioned House which goes on from year to year pretty much as it always has done, collecting, in spite of itself, an accumulation of articles which become less saleable the longer they are kept, is being easily out-distanced by the up-to-date progressive establishment which at any sacrifice disposes of the remains of its season’s stock at the close of every twelvemonth. Messrs. Hampton & Sons, of Pall Mall East, are now following this, their annual, custom, and in order to stock all departments in the forthcoming Spring Season of 1932 with only the very latest productions, they are at very great sacrifice, offering their high-class furnishing effects to all whose discernment decides them to visit the showrooms in Pall Mall during the first three weeks of January. Owing to a great collapse in the carpet trade on the Continent, Messrs. Hampton are also able to give the advantage of $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent. below usual prices to those whose requirements may be in the direction of fine floor coverings. Splendid Turkey carpets, of fine soft texture and wonderful wear, now being cleared at prices which are actually less than the current wholesale rates for the same goods. That the public can buy these carpets at the prices quoted in Hampton’s Clearance Catalogue would be incredible but for the explanation that the recurring “slumps” in the wholesale markets, due to over-production and other causes, must of necessity occasionally afford opportunities to secure large consignments at heavy reductions. By purchasing entire shipments Hampton & Sons secure such carpets at lower prices than would be possible to concerns whose business was of a less extensive character. Thus by their enterprising and up-to-date methods of trading Hamptons secure the finest carpets and other House Furnishing produce. Indian, Chlidema, Wilton, Axminster, and Brussels all have been reduced so much that a rush for their possession will be certain. In conclusion, it should not be forgotten by those who are smartening up their houses in expectation of either letting or occupying them themselves during the coming Coronation season, that now is their time and here their opportunity to do this at so great a saving that, as the contents of the Catalogue will convince them, they cannot afford to neglect it.—GENTLEWOMAN, Dec. 28, 1901. To the many thousands of Householders, Proprietors of Hotels, Clubs, &c., who have occasion to partly re-furnish their Residences for the coming Coronation Season, with a view either to occupying or letting same, and to All who purpose making Furnishing Purchases. HAMPTONS’ Great Annual Stocktaking CLEARANCE THIS DAY and until 25th inst. only Affords an invaluable opportunity to secure every description of HOUSE FURNISHINGS of the HIGHEST CLASS At Clearance Prices.

HEAL & SON'S Speciality for Curtain Blinds "CASEMENT FLAX" The want of a material which would drape well in the short length demanded by the casement curtain, and which at the same time was not expensive, has led us to the production of CASEMENT FLAX, which, although pure linen, is not harsh, but always hangs in soft folds; it wears well and washes well, only those dyes have been used which have stood the severe test of strong sunlight. It will be found that casement flax i. Hangs in graceful folds ii. Wears well and keeps its colour iii. Is very inexpensive 36 INCHES WIDE. PRICES FROM 1/3 TO 2/9 PER YARD.
