Knudtson's Ad Gains National Recognition National 'recognition of an ad vertisement of Knudtson's jewel ers of Roseburg is given in the July issue of Guilds, published by the American Gem society, Los Angeles, Calif. The publication calls attention to an advertisement of Knudtson's in which a "handsome engraving of a prehistoric scene is the illus tration for one of a series of un usual advertisements" which ap peared in the News-Review. "Alvin M. Knudtson, R. J.. C. G.. his gifted son, Alan, who engraves the plates for the ads and writes the copy, and his son, Jim, who is in charge of the watch-repairing department, are to be congratulat ed for having designed a dynam ic and distinctive style of ad which is practically a trademark," states the Guilds' article. The ad referred to was illus trated by the engraving of a pre historic scene, which showed the earth erupting in violence and enormous animals long extinct. The headlines pointed out that dia monds are more than ten million years old. The copy elaborates on the theme by explaining that on the day your diamond was formed the earth was still in its early stages of development: the Grand canyon was little more than a creek and many of todays mountains were barely a bulge on the surface of the ground. This leads to the discussion of the durability of this gem, and of the enduring love for which it is the symbol, the article points out. All member organizations of the American Gem society must ub mit copies of all their advertising for study and criticism. ' Judgments Awarded In Three Money Actions Circuit Judge Carl E.
