SYOSSET, NY —

Stanton Rug Company, a manufacturer and importer of area rugs, runners and broadloom products, will — in a first for the company — introduce a stock offering of area rugs at the Atlanta International Area Rug Show July 13 to 16.

The area rug collection compromises some of the company's most popular broadloom and runner coordinate collections as well as new designs.

"Our coordinate collections have been very successful, and we wanted to offer our dealers even greater versatility, meeting the needs for any sale," said Mike Shupp, national rug sales manager. "The stocked sizes give consumers an immediate visual with instant ship potential as well as a more cost-effective option to custom rug fabrication. "

Stanton's new designs include the following, from its Royal Sovereign collection:

• Anastasia, a 100 percent New Zealand wool, available in two colors, midnight and claret, stocked in 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 10' x 13' and a 2'6" x 8' runner.

• Catherine, a 100 percent New Zealand wool, available in four colors, tannery, midnight, claret and olive, now stocked in 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 10' x 13' and a 2'6" x 8' runner.

• Olivia, a 100 percent New Zealand wool, available in four colors, natural brown, autumn gold, golden nugget and midnight, now stocked in 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 10' x 13' and a 2'6" x 8' runner.

• Charles, a 100 percent New Zealand wool, available in three colors, midnight, claret and olive, now stocked in 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 10' x 13' and a 2'6" x 8" runner.

Also new will be an addition to the Savoy Collection — Topkapi, a 100 percent New Zealand wool available in three colors, merlot, goldenrod and panther, and stocked in 5' x 8', 8' x 10', 10' x 13' and a 2'6" x 8" runner.
