the purse in his mouth, containing
something like SO, started out all right

We're Guilty!!!

THERE are few people who are
4 still wondering how we can sell
the best jewelry at the same prices
as elsewhere-and perhaps less-and still
give you all the time you want to pay
for it. Well the problem is pure and
simple.
The main thing that counts in bust
ness today is the buying-.not the selling.
The success of the largest mercantile
enterprises of the United States is due
solely to the volume of business trans
acted. Our purchasing power for our
many stores and office branches through
out the country enables us to offer prices
on CREDIT BASIS that the cash
jewellers find impossible.
We have thousands of customers
who have found great satisfaction in our
dignified credit system. The average
man or woman who in any way follows
up the daily papers knows of the stup-
endous increase in the price of diamonds.
They have advanced almost 1907 in the
last few years and there is absolutely no
limit to the price you may pay in the
near future.
Call today and become the posses
sor of one of our genuine diamonds
while the prices are still within the reach
of the average person. Our perfected
credit system enables you to do this with
out sacrifice.
Pay little every now and then.
That is all we ask!
