You cannot examine Lambert Diamond and Gold Jewelry nor Lambert Watches too closely to please us. WE ARE CONSTANTLY URGING THE PUBLIC TO MAKE COMPARISONS between our jewelry and our prices and those of any other house, Just now we spoke of confidence, Thousands of jewelry buyers know that they can rely on us, and they act accordingly. Others, with whom we hope by this means to become acquainted, may care to know they have been in They have flourished amid competition. having a factory on the same premises with our store, and we are not content with merely following fashion. Lamberts ori te designs in ‘ewelry, the monogram fob and the Rena bracelet being among the most famous of their creations. What we do not manufacture we get direct from the makers with- out the intervention of middlemen. Diamonds and other things our customers need from Europe wé import direct. The heavy profits paid to middlemen make fine jewelry expensive to the consumer who buys in the ordinary way. But Lambert prices are factory prices. That is, one moderate profit only is added to the cost of production. Best Diamond Values The enormous valuation of diamonds imported into the United States this year—a sum aggregating nearly forty millions of dollars—- does not, experts say, so much prove an increase in quantity as an ad- vance in price. If Lamberts had left off until the last minute the pur- chase of the beautiful diamonds that shine in the Christmas jewelry at their store, their customers would enjoy no special advantages now, when there is so strong a demand for diamonds of fine quality as Christmas gifts. :/Diamonds Bought Before Prices Rose But the Lambert diamonds for the Christmas sales of 1910 were bought long ago, before prices had risen, before fine diamonds had be- come so scarce. More than that, all the Lambert diamonds were paid for with spot cash, which commands the lowest prices, and were imported direct by the firm of Lambert Brothers. Result: Diamonds of high quality at the very lowest prices. ‘They are all mounted in the Lambert factory, on the same premises wih the Lambert store; mounted in solid 14 and 18 karat gold and in pure platinum. They sparkle in solitaire and cluster in Brooches, La Vallieres, Festoons, Fobs, Medallions, Bracelets and , all of tasteful, fashionable designs.’ Because of their constant advance in value diamonds are the most sensible as well as most beautiful of Christmas gifts.
