DIAMONDS REACH TOP
NOTCH IN GEM HISTORY
Price Has Steadily Increased for
Half Century, Making Them
Good Investment.

Chicago. Nav pa have been in

- an investment can compare with a
diamond. For q half century diamonds
have steadily increased in avlue. Hard
times have checked the upward movement
bu. never have caused II 70 recede. As
-oon as the situation improved the up
ward trend set IN again. Though diamond
prices are now the highest III history, |
think the public can rest assured diamonds
will never be cheaper. On the contrary,
everything indicates prices VIII continue
to advance until a maximum IS reached
which will place the diamond beyond the
purchasing power Of any but persons OF
great wealth.
There are perfectly logical and legiti-
mate reasons for present diamond prices
Ii the South African mines are not ap-
preaching exhaustion, as many believe,
they are far from being as productive as
formerly, and the quality Of the stones is
not so good. Whereas they formerly

Diamond cutters receive higher wages.
Shipping expenses have risen. Lastly,
the overhead Of the merchants who handle
he finished product has increased ire
nendously-
while Americans are buying dia-
monds lavishly for personal adornment,
Europe is buying them to great extent
IS investments National currencles IN
europe have deprecated and some are
worthless, but the value Of diamond
-emains the same IN bankrupt Russia as
IN prosperous America.
IF anyone wants to purchase dla-
mond as an investment he should deal
with an established house to be sure he
gets exact value for his money. No fixed
per carat price can be placed on diamonds.
Diamonds of one carat retail today at
from 5000 TO 81 900. A single carat stone
nay be worth FIVE times as much as a
,hree carat stone The price depends
absolutely upon the quality Of the diamond
and not upon the size. !"
