THE DIAMOND
As A n Investment
The man or woman who wears a diamond also
wears an air of prosperity that is far reaching in
its influence.

W hen you are ready to buy a diamond, at what
ever price, there are plenty of reasons why you
should come and see the fine line of Diamonds in
Ear-Rings, Brooches and Rings sold at reduced
prices on installments at
