Facis from Fifty Years’ Dealing in Diamonds In the course of a year we have on an average about 3,000 people come in and ask us to exchange a diamond in their posscssion. Barring those that have been purchased from us; which we ex- change on the basis of the full price pasd, in 9% of such cases we find the stone presented to be below our standard. In 90% the diamonds given us to exchange are of a qualsty that would ebso- lutely bar them from our stock. You will note that we snvariably refrain from using superlatives, exaggerations or positives n describing the diamonds we sell. Every R. Harris & Co. diamond is a good diamond, worth every dollar you pay for it, and you pay less than ords- nariiy, because our vast volume of business enables us to buy more economically and sell on a small margin of profit. Ask any one who has dealt with us— and we have done business with Washington’s most substantial people . for over half a century. R.HARRIS & CO. Seventh and D _THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The big point is that the economies are pure gold—involving goods of certified Man’s Store quality with the Man’s Store reputation a tower of strength behind them.
