We Give Perpetual Contracts On Diamonds In view ot the fact that a great many of our customers after they have bought a Diamond, decide that they wish a larger one, we have arranged for them to return it at any time in the future and get an allowance of the full purchase price for it toward a larger one. By this plan it is possible for one to eventually own as large a stone as they might wish, and at the same time their payments might be reduced to a minimum. As an example, on a $60.00 stone we would only require $15.00 cash and allow the purchaser to extend the remaining $4.5'00 over a period of months best suited. After this stone is paid for, which you have had the pleasure of wearing in the meantime, we will allow you the full price of $60.00 for it toward a larger one, and so on, making ex changes as you so desire. If it is not possible for you to visit our store, let us send you a selection package from which you can choose as satisfactorily as if you have visited our establishment. — <37 WHrramtli -YT.
