BUYING A WATCH

should not be purchase made on
the spur of the moment 1t is not
necessarily an act of lifetime, but
often is.
Don't buy until you know some
thing about the make and grade of
the watch-the fact that it has a
guarantee in it is not enough. Do
you accept a mans note without con-
sidering the value? Do you accept a
deed for a farm or piece of real es-
tate without knowing it is genuine?
One lick with hammer will stamp
guarantee in watch case. The
Office boy can hit the stamp.
Few know that the number of lew
els in a watch has little to do with it's
grade or cost. For instance, did you
know that the Elgin watch factory
makes six movements, all the same
size, with the same number of Jew
els, and all different price?
Adams Jewelry Store has the
watch you want or need and such
information as everyone should val
ue. Our reputation hangs on the
satisfaction our watches give. Don't
buy and regret. Our endorsement is
good

SALEOF DIAMONDS

Notwithstanding the advance in
diamonds the sale is enormous, and
lmportations are increasing. The
man who's father never once thought
of owning a diamond is one of the
largest buyers, and comparatively
few families can be found without

The diamond is one thing that
must be bought strictly on confidence
in the dealer.
In order for you to place confidence
to that extent in diamond merchant

edge and experience which teaches
him to grade diamonds as well as
to be honorable and square in his
dealing.
