Prices depend on the setting, of course. pin
containing a superb diamond is $780, and one small

ONE of the most remarkable fea-
~ lures shown in the Jewelry Store
is the superb display of silverware which
makes feast for the eye, as one passes
the great glass cases, constructed OF
finest West India mahogany, that glori-
fly the walls of the East Aisle, Chestnut
Street.
ANY one interested in sel ct n g silverware
whether it be single piece, like vase or basket or
chest of silver, tea set, complete service OF

desirable place in which to purchase.

Some have luminous dials.
Prices give almost as wide range of
selection as styles A 14-karat gold
watch on plain black ribbon can be had
for $40 then going up all the way to 1925
for an exquisite little timepiece sur
rounded by flashing diamonds.
Silver watches on silk ribbons for
women are S40 S45 and $40. Women's
watches of 14-karat gold, set on brace
lets of flexible links, are $40 to $3.50.
Mems pocket watches in fine assort-
ment start with gold-filled watches at
S17 to $68, while in 14-karat gold the
range is $28 to S17O. With luminous
dials, taking in both gold-flled and gold,
prices are S22 to $63.
Since there are always inquiries
from army and navy men, golf players
and other sportsmen for mems wrist
watches, it is we'll to state that we can
offer them in quite variety at present.
EVERY man, woman, girl and fair
~ sized boy ought to have a good
watch and Kris Kringle usually sees
that he or she gets one.
But there's another kind of goods,
coming in small but precious packages,
that Kris Kringle does love to deliver,
especially to young girl; or to some
mother of a splendid family who de-
serves all that Solomon said about her.
and deserves the rubies to boot, only
diamonds, are more fashionable, these
days
Yes, of course, we are speaking of
DIAMONDS.
The Diamond, to look on its posses
sion from the business standpoint as an
asset, is steadily appreciating in value.
1t is the Stone Supreme, never dis
placed from it's high position by any
freak of Fashion.
For one thing, isn't Fashion a lady
herself?
How strong the demand is, may be
judged from the fact that at present the
United States contains over one-half of
the worlds supply of diamonds, and the
Wanamaker Store-well, that the Store
contains a goodly proportion of them
and all mighty handsome stones, too, is
the impression gained from even the
most passing glance at the rich and
splendid array of these fine gems in
artistic settings which we've assembled
here.
With all those diamonds billion dollars worth
assembled in the United States, not every woman
has vet her bar pin, or her diamond ring so
these stocks are extremely interesting around the
Christmas season.
The quality of the stones is unmpeachable: SUI

bracelets, and little precious things to
serve as gifts for remembrance and
affection.
Our activity in great commercial
affairs on both sides of the ocean enables
US to secure advantages in jewelry buy
ing.
The comprehensiveness of this great
JeWelry Store, that dominates the
Chestnut Street end of the Main Floor,
is shown by the fact that the tall, i'm
posing hall clocks that meet you in the
wide aisles with "the grand air." like
misunderstanding in royal court,
are not there for mere purposes of show.
They are there to decide some of your
problems by showing you how excel
lently one of them would fit into the
furnishing scheme of your home-or of
some good friends home.
What gift for a daughter newly
married! or for any one!
~ HESE hall clocks, so handsome of
N face, so stately of figure, at the
same time are perhaps the most useful
articles in the whole Jewelry Store, for
they serve whole family, not stopping
work even when on strike, and outlast
generation. 3
They are frst-rank timekeepers.
Besides sounding the hour and half
hour, the majority are fitted with beau
tiful, silvery chimes.
Reliable timepieces are hobby of
the Wanamaker Jewelry Store that have
brought great happiness and satlsfac-
tion into thousands of lives.
Not the prettiest-faced clock or
watch gets in here until we have investi-
gated it's references.
The Christmas watches are ready for
the choosing (the earlier, the wider
choice) and all their references are
signed with the names Etgin, WaLthdm
or HOward, or a few of the women's
wrist watches with the name OF some
good Swiss maker.
THE bracelet watches for women are
n smart as can be, and represent the
fashionable shapes in all their variety

there is Just one more Saturday left

Diamonds and other jeUeLry,

of their givers' taste, generosity

1t is both delightful and desir-
