Compromise To Be Reached

Fear Reaction Some Day.
| During the last three months of Pres-
B Went Cleveland’s term he made some
B tS" appointments, all of which the Re-

tion of about 90. The answer of the
■ Democrats to this statement, however,
■ is that when McKinley came in he dis-
■ placed most of these Democrats with

THE DIX GUARANTEE
ON DIAMONDS
Is based upon the soundest business principles, and the fact
that there is no such thing as a second-hand diamond, and that
diamonds are recognized collateral anywhere in the civilized
world.
Our large purchases permit our buying diamonds direct
from the largest cutters of the world in original lots, thereby
saving the wholesaler’s and jobber’s profits.
We are diamond specialists, and our diamonds are graded
and classed with exacting care until each one has its actual
value, and so marked in plain figures.
Every solitaire diamond we sell is with the understanding
that we will exchange it whenever desired and allow full pur
chase price, together with any meantime advance in value, as
part payment on larger diamonds.
We will cheerfully buy back any solitaire diamond at its
full cash price, less 1 0 per cent, if returned within one year of
purchase.
Our liberal methods of business sometimes force others to
consent to similar terms and to adopt our methods, but have
you ever tried to cash a piece of goods?
Our reputation for fair and progressive dealing is excelled
by no other diamond house. We live up to our reputation—
not upon it, and stand firmly back of our values.
Request our Diamondjßooks, Set No. 11, that explain
themselves.
