On Buying Jewelry for Gifts
The question, what to give for Christmas, comes earlier than usual' this year.
The sum total of all gift searchings is met in jewelry. It is useful, it is beau
tiful. It is inexpensive, or costly. It is luxurious in appearance, yet economical
because of its permanency. Jewelry was the first Christmas gift. Make this a
jewelry Christmas.
One purchases jewelry at Clinton's knowing that it has the permanence,
quality and worthy character one insists on having. Even though the price is
trivial, the quality is reliable. There is no after reflections on the judgment of the
giver. The very name of Clinton adds prestige to your present.
The display of diamonds will interest you immensely. We arc able
to offer extra good values in both loose and mounted gems.

with crowns of porcelain or gold to natural teeth or roots and when cemented in place
