Rug shopping

A large progressive department, furniture or floorcovering store in any metropolitan area either should have, or be willing to order for you, anything you ask for.

Because an absolutely complete stock, representing every type of both hand and ma­chine-made floorcovering would be a prohibitive investment and occupy more space than any establishment has available, even the biggest stores do not carry everything.

Naturally they depend for their main volume of business on merchandise that has a reasonably quick sale, which means carpets and rugs in fashion at the moment and not too prohibitive in price.
