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.
