to morninJ-cr better yet-will attend the evening sales; for the store will
be open till 10 o'clock every night till Christmas. Even with all the
extra helpers it is impossible to wait on all who come and the store
is literally suffering from an "overdose of business." The
causes of these extraordinary conditions are told in

Here are diamonds, silver, gold, cut
elass and a thousand and one things to
live that can be bought way below value
fight now! Not because they're worth
less.
They're not. ,
Diamonds and watches and silverware
are worth more today than ever. And
they're going up instead of down, like
everything else.' ,
But the store Aronson's Store needs
a lot of money.
One good reason's enough. -Like

All the Solid Silver Hollowware, includ

Forks, Spoons and Carvers everything
is reduced. But the list is as long as a Phil
adelphia lawyer's brief.
THE Diamond Section is crowded every
afternoon a regular matinee ! And
every day we
sell lots of 'em.
Half an hour
ago a gentle
man from Wal
lace, Idaho, se
lected a ring
iraliiprl at. $11 00.
" ', T J1-
Two days ago a genyeman irom renuie
ton bought one for eight hundred and
fifteen dollars. Rings at sixty-nine, a
hundred and forty-seven and so on sell
freely and with no comment.
It takes a few hundred nowadays to set
salespeoples' tongues a-wagging! An
other Diamond Bracelet at one hundred
and sixty-five dollars was sold this
morning.
YOU can better understand why folks
buy diamonds when you know how
they're selling. Listen to this:
AN eighty-five dollar Bracelet is now $57.50. A Scarf
Pin of Platinum and Diamonds is $67.50, instead of
$100.00. A Cluster Diamond Ring; is $329.00 instead
of $450.00. Another one, worth $325.00, is now $239.50.
A Diamond and Onyx Bracelet, worth $175.00, is cut
to $129.50. A Diamond Sunburst, worth $450.00, has
been lowered to $298.00. Diamond Horseshoe Brooch,
worth $200.00, is $133.00. A thousand dollar Ring with
a single stone, is $657.50. (The color is not good too
yellow, else it would be worth three thousand dollars).
A $300.00 Diamond Bracelet is $215.00. A Diamond
Necklace, worth $85.00, is now $63.75. A $300.00 Plati
num Lavalliere, set with diamonds, is $195.00. A thou
sand dollar Diamond Brooch is $685.00.
MANY groups of smaller rings are shown in trays.
For instance, at $147.50 there is a big group of
fancy Diamond Kings, worm -uu.uu
to $250.00. At $69.75 there is another
group worth a hundred dollars apiece
and many fifty dollar Rings are ar
ranged on a .tray for $29.50. Also
there's a tray of Diamond-set Laval
lieres (of solid gold) at $6.95 apiece;
they're worth ten dollars easily.
Solid Gold Rings, with fancy and
semi-precious stones, can be bought
for very little money.
Rubies (reconstructed), Sapphires,
Topaz, Pearls, Turquoise, all are a
third less than the regular prices;
$5.00 instead of $7.50; $3.35 instead
of $5.00, and so on.
A whole trayful is shown in the
window at a single dollar apiece.
Solid gold?
Sure as you're born!
f NE of the new salesmen came to me all of a flut-
Vr ter yesterday. He was showing Watches
tray from the window.
"Look here, isn't this a mis
take; a thirty dollar watch in
this fifteen dollar tray?"
Baid he.
"No, that's not a mistake."
"But it's 14-carat solid
gold," he insisted.
"Let it go; we want the
money worse than the watch!"
No string of adjectives I
IJ ,tiilrl tall the
COU1U I11LU3I.C4 " - . . , ,
facts any more forcibly than that one lcldent-
"Ladies' Solid Gold Watches, worth $2o.00 to $30.00,
for $15.00." . ,
I am quoting from the sign in the window, you see.
And the sign states a f-ct-sdo all the signs.
Twelve dollar Bracelet Watches are $6.6o. Forty
donr "Howard" Watches are $29.50. Men's $20.00
Elgin or Waltham Watches are $11.75 Fffteen dolhar
Elgin Watches are $9.85. Forty-five dollar Solid Gold
Wrist Watches are $29.50, and so on.
Hundreds of Watches are reduced in like manner.
All standard makes included.
f HAVE no room to tell of the very beautiful Cut
I Glass, which is selling for half price Or the fine
' gifts of leather which
; v;,:r"7 tW.-Pf'-i. less. Or the umoreuas,
which are a third less.
Or the S t a t i o n e r y,
0 paDnpaJ si qsiuM
half. Pr the Clocks or
the Plated Jewelry!
The list is tremendous;
for this is a big store,
with a big stock. All I
can do is to "hit the
VnVh snots" here and
there.
And above everything else, to ask those who come
To come early in the morning (o.- after supper, for
the store will be open evenings from now on), 10
take small parcels along, for the delivery people are
"swamped" already. .
To decide as quickly as possible, for there s a lot of
people invariably waiting their -turn" to be waited on
If yonll do these thing it will he p everybody and
make this Christmas in reality a "Very Merry Christ
mas" Thank you, GEORGE FRANCIS ROWE.
