Thousands of Repeat Orders and Unsolicited Testimonials Received. "50, Berkeley Square. The Countess of Selkirk would thank the British Carpet Co. to send her another Carpet, similar to the one she got from them a fortnight ago, which is most satisfactory"...Admittedly the Cheapest in the World. Seamless, Woven, and Reversible, Rich Turkey Patterns and Colourings, Superior Quality, with Handsome Border to match, a marvel of Excellence and Beauty. These Carpets are splendid imitations of real Brussels Carpets, the designs having been carefully copied...so that when in use it is almost impossible, except by close scrutiny, to detect the difference.
