What we say it is, it is You Can Easily Save a Fine DIAMOND And Earn 6% Interest on Your Money as it Accumulates You can buy a Diamond—a perfectly cut, flawless stone of fine ' l color, weighing half a carat or more, mounted in any article of jewelry | you prefer—and never miss the money. This Diamond will be an investment guaranteed never to depre ciate—a gem which will Increase in value at an astonishingly fast J pace. The increase in values of fine quality Diamonds for the past 10 years has averaged 17 per cent, a year. Diamonds never have de t creased in value. In the same easy way you can quickly come Into ownership of a fine Gruen, Howard, Hamilton, Elgin or Waltham watch—or a fine set of Dinner Ware of Imported or domestic china; a handsome Mantel I or Chime Clock, or any other goods usually to be found in a high class, exclusive jewelry store. Or you can accumulate a Christmas fund with which you can pur chase the finest presents you ever gave for every one to whom you want to give—with no greater strain on your pocketbook than now and then to lay aside your loose change, allowing It to accumulate, drawing interest at 6 per cent, when $5.00 or more has been saved. |— j Cash Prices—Easy Payments By the "Diener Save a Watch or Diamond Plan" you pay cash j prices. Instead of making you pay for the expense of collecting ac counts. waiting for deferred payments and losses caused by bad ac counts. which raise prices one-half to double. Diener pays you Inter est on your savings at the rate of 6 per cent. —when you have accumu | lated $5.00 or more, and sells at cash prices. Save as fast as You Want to You determine when you shall make your payments. There are no collectors, no red tape, no Investigations. You come to Dlener's and ask for a ' Diener Save a Watch or Diamond Plan" card, making your first payment—6 or 11 cents—when you get the card. After that you can make one payment or as many as you please whenever it is con venient to do so—eaen week, or at other regular or Irregular inter vals. Choose which of the following plans vou will carry out. Either .one will accumulate money at a surprisingly rapid rate. PLABT TfO. 1 PI,AX NO. 2 6 per cent. Interest-bearing S .,P er cent.

Try it This plan came into being because numbers of my customers have told me they would like to own fine Diamonds, but could not nav the entire price at one time, and did not want to pay exorbitant "instal ment" prices. This plan soon saves a fine diamond. When vou get It it Is vours , fully paid for. And It seems like a present, so easily have you secured It!
