TATE & WILSOM
Christmas Is So Near!
A Diamond! It will never wear out. Always in
style .... a Gift that will keep the memory of this
Christmas fresh in mind for all the years to come!
Diamonds increase in value from year to year. Money
can be raised on a diamond quicker than any other
possession! And it’s easy to choose the right one at
the Lawrence D. Greene jewelry store, who have real
values.
FOR MOTHER
Mother thinks so seldom of
herself, it is only fair to show
your thought of her, with a
special sort of Gift.
She would love a Diamond
Dinner Ring. And a woman
always welcomes another neck
lace. She loves choice per
fumes.
A W’^atch is very likely to be
the answer to your most diffi
cult Gift problem. This one
offers quality at a modest
price. More elaborate models,
with or without Diamonds, in
a wide price range.
