Patriotic Shopping
' It, is buying plentifully, but wisely and early. Plentifully because business must be
as near normal as possible. Wisely because waste of all kinds must be stopped; Early
because alreadyrailroads and express companies are carrying a tremendous extra burden,
and it is everyone's duty to mail gifts' early and make the situation as easy as possible.
Diamonds for Christmas
A better example of wise buying is not possible than the gift of a Diamond from
Clinton's. Neither time nor wear detracts from a diamond. Years only add to its value.
A Clinton diamond is a high grade stone of fine color and quality. It is free from
delects which detract from its brilliancy. It is a highly desirable diamond to give and to
own.
Clinton values are noteworthy. To purchase here is true economy with your diamond
money. A fine collection of unmounted stones.
