DIAMONDS PAY YOU LARGE
 PROFITS

Said a present day philosopher. '.Every body takes you at your own valuation" meaning that appearance begets a good impression. diamond is the sign manual of success anu prosperity. It pays big profits in the battle of business or the battle of love. Look prosperous, prosperity
 Tn addition, there is always the certain knowledge that diamond values can never decrease. The sup ply can never keep up with the growth of wealth and population
 Only epertS can determine their true worth. Confidence i'm the dealer $ the only guarantee of value receiv- cd. Confidence is born of experience. not the experience of one buyer. but the experience of hundreds. covering many years. Satisfaction experience of many means d successful business. We point to our successful service of years. Peop-e who bought diamonds here years ago, are buying now.
 We can serve you. too.
