DIAMOND VALUES: In order to ascertain just what our diamonds are,
you should have the toncs themselves, and then compare them with the diamonds from '
other jewelers. It is impossible to give an accurate idea of our diamonds by merely stat-
: ing the size and price for which we sell them. 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. Will you not compare our diamonds and prices with those of other jewelers the j
next time you need any? We know we can sell them at lower prices than any jeweler "
