A national committee to unite wom- en in a campaign to elect members R. HARRIS & CO. Pictures of diamonds appearing in newspaper advertisements are like- ly to be misleading due to their enlargement above actual size. The average person’s acquaintance with dia- monds does not allow him quickly and ac- curately to visualize true sizes on the basis of weight. This handicap is not present when we look at pictures of articles of furniture shown in ad- vertisements. Our daily contacts with furniture make it easy for us to visualize the items in approximately actual size. But a diamond, shown in ten times its possible size, at a price relative- ly insignificant, can hardly do other than mislead. Take advantage, we suggest, of the expert counsel and advice that is available over our counters. More than fifty years of diamond merchandising experience stands ready to guide you to safe se- lection. s Quality, not size, is the criterion of diamond values.
