Dear Sir
L. A. Faunee s offer of a $15 perfect
white diamond ring for $40 is the best
bargain on your Bargain and Educa-
tional Page this week. First, because
you receive something of value to any
one at twothirds its actual value, which
is saving of S3 1-S per cent. Second,
because usage does not depreciate its
first cost and, third, because it is con-
yertable into cash at any time.
