The Shadow Of the Cross.

We will have the distinction Of
having this marvellous $4,000 pic
ture shown in the smallest town, by
several thousand, of any town in
the world. 1t has never been put
on exhibition except in the large
cities. Fortunate circumstances IA
vored us and | was able to close a
contact with the management to
out it on exhibition at our Fair. A
most strange phenomnon attends
this picture when it is exhibited in
absolute darkness. And you can
not afford to miss seeing this unac-
countable or miraculous appear
ance.

Diamonds Lend an
Air of Prosperity
to The Wearer.
CHARLES R. CRISP

Diamonds always have been and
always will be a good investment
Diamonds on the hand are better
than money in the bank.
They indicate prosperity. They
afford untold pleasure. They at
tract individual attention.
Nothing could possibly be a more
acceptable gift.than a splendid dia-
mond. Nothing could ever give
more returns on the investment
than the purchase of a good diamond.
No matter how little or how much
you wish to spend, this store has
for your inspection g. complete stock
of good diamonds. We buy only
good diamonds. We buy diamonds
that you and we can both be proud
of.
We are willing to sell them at a
modest margin. Each diamond we
sell is guaranteed to be exactly
what we represent it to be. We
show diamonds both loose and
mounted; and we would very much
like. the pleasure of showing you
what our diamond stock consists of
