"It is that part of our country, a par allelogram in shape, lying directly south of the Columbia river, 96,000 square miles In area and with a coast line on the Paclflo ocean of 800 miles. There la a, natural division formed longitudin ally by tha Cascade range of mountains with . snow-capped Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson. Mount Pitt and the graceful Three Bisters rising like sentinels at Intervals along the range.

When you have our diamonds before you, and at the same time stones from other houses, you can compare their color, cut, -see if they are perfect, or the degree of imperfection, and judge as to who gives the best value.
