Cox's Jewell Shop
Sells Goods Ten Per
Cent Cheaper in De-
cember Than Any I
Other Month.

This we have been doing for II
years and we have brought hun
dreds of people in our store to pur-
chase diamonds, and jewelry for
gifts instead Of other kinds Of mer-
chandise.
Therefore we have proved to our
own satisfaction that we are max
ing no mistake in cutting the price
when our patrons need our goods
most, and instead Of marking goods
up for the holiday business we give
our patrons q discount that en-
ables them to buy q better article
with the the same money they ex-
pected to spend for Christmas pres
ents, and this fact we have estab-
lished In this locality since 1917
and have learned that our special
price In December has been appre-
ciated by old customers who have
told 1t to others and the every one
tell one" policy has brought hun
dreds of customers to Cox's Jewel
shop during the month n Decem-
Der. And the result has been that
each year We add hundreds Of new
customers to our list who prove to
be customers every month of the
year. and our volume of business
has increased wonderfully by our
special service to customers in time
Of need.
Expect to Increase Business
40 Per Cent.
We expect this year in our new
location to increase our December
business by 10 per cent by giving
the 10 per cent on and cannot you
readily see that such an increase in
volume offsets the decrease in price
so our sale proves in every way to
be q mutual benefit.
Department stores have sales in
January and February, but Cox's
Jewel shop prefers December. Take
advantage now. Make the gift BIZ
one that will be handed down from
generation to generation. Quality

Cox's Jewel shop. and nothing /,

cars between the early morning and
