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. HARRY L. DIX, INC. Diamond Merchants and Manufacturing Jewelers 208-9-10 Candler Building, Atlanta, Ga. N. E.
