We agree to buy back, after one year, any diamond bought here, oaylnir for It ninety percent, of the purchase price. Do you know of any other saleable commodity In which such an offer could be made? Do yon know of any store making big profits on its diamonds that would like to buy them back on such con ditions? We make this offer to show the good faith tnat is back of Ban diamond selling. We claim that no other store In Salem sells diamonds at so modesta profit margin. This ninety per cent, repurchase offer would seem to be good proof. Bat t9$ Jewelry Stoe. State and LlbertySts..
