Buying rugs

The established interior decorator usually buys through job­bers who have a variety of resources. Practically all the floor coverings bought through a decorator are special orders.

Mail-order houses have an adequate selection of the more popular types of floorcoverings, both in their catalogues and in their retail stores.
Some dealers handle just one type of floorcovering.

This is especially true of dealers in Orientals. Patronize only the man with a well-established business, a reputation for integrity and plainly marked prices on his rugs.

The good dealer can give you invaluable help because he is a specialist in his field, the unscru­pulous dealer will give you nothing but a fleecing.
