THE
DECIDING
ISSUE
in Diamond and Jewelry buying is at the
crossroad of quality and price. Many
houses use "quality" as a term of conveni
ence, a playground where price romps about
until it becomes unruly and runs away. In
this way "quality" is a much-abused ex
cuse for high price-making. "Quality" is
cither good or not at all. It's the good
quality that rules this house, and it's the
extreme smallness in price, coupled with
that "quality," that have made of this the
most popular house in its line..
OUR
DIAMOND
BUSINESS

Jewelry, we put the cost to you considerably less than they can be bought elsewhere. We are
