We Give Perpetual
Contracts On Diamonds
In view of 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 stoue 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 $45.00 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.
