DIAMONDS
A SPLENDID INVESTMENT
The purchaser of diamonds has the satisfaction of possess
ing in tangible, useful form, "an amount of genuine wealth.
Aside from the favorable attraction, commercially, by
those wearing diamonds, they form an investment that is
second to few. indeed. They have successfully weathered
every depression without a single break in price.
The constant increase in value has been remarkable. Ten
years ago you could have bought the mfor half, or less, of
what they cost today. The conditions affecting their value,
such as the cost of mining and the decrease in quality and
quantity found, will undoubtedly force the price higher.
Our partial pay plan enables one to possess diamonds
without the inconvenience to pay all cash might occasion.
Talk the plan over with us. It means money invested that
will pay you a handsome profit.
