The easiest and most economical process ever invented for making Rag
and Turkish Rugs, Ottoman Covers, etc. Every lady has enough material
in her rag bag to make several handsome durable rugs. Any cloth, old or
new, yarns, carpet waste, etc., can be used. Small pieces of Silk, too
much worn for Patchwork, make pretty stool or ottoman covers. The Pearl
Rug Maker is a set of Steel Forms and Tines, on which the material is
wound, then sewed through the centre to a cloth foundation—_with any
sewing machine or by hand_—forming loops, which are readily cut open,
making a soft, close pile or tuft a half inch thick, all on the upper
side. Rags when used do not have to be sewed together. Small pieces are
cut in strips, on the bias. A handsome Rug 2 x 3 feet, with a border,
can be made in a day. Folks who have talked hard times for years must
have an abundance of old clothes. The Pearl Rug Maker is the only
invention that will utilize them without being obliged to go to further
expense than a spool of thread. With the scraps of cloth, odds and
ends that accumulate in every home, you can make Rugs that will adorn
any parlor. If you do not have enough bright colored pieces in your
rag bag, you can color them at trivial expense. (See our Premium Offer
of Diamond Dyes.) With the Pearl Rug Maker many ladies make an entire
carpet.

Comparatively few persons are aware that many articles of personal and
household use may be so renewed that they can be regarded as almost as
good as ever for further service. By using these Dyes, colors that have
become faded or dingy, or unfashionable, can be renewed; or the article
may be changed in color and appearance so that they may again be made
serviceable.

Each Dye is complete in itself, requiring no other articles to set
the color. It is really for most colors no more difficult to dye any
article a perfect color than to rinse or starch such an article, and
the person making the trial for the first time will be delighted with
the result. They are warranted to give complete satisfaction when
directions are followed. Now at a trifling expense it can be done in
any house, and any one can save many dollars every year by the extra
wear they can get from garments that have been renewed in this way.
After a lady has once felt the comfort of having a faded or dingy dress
or garment made as good as new by these Dyes, she will not fail to use
them often for these purposes.
