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. LAWRENCE D. GREENE Southern Railway Watch Inspector. Your Jeweler For 14 Years.
