Extra good values
in diamonds
If we had to go out on the market today
and duplicate our stock of diamonds, we
would have to pay considerably more for
them, and sell rhem at higher prices.
The diamond supply is controlled by a
gigantic monopoly which frankly declares
it will continually raise prices and never
decrease them. It has been doing that for
more than 20 years,
All our stones are of highly desirable qual
ity and color, and each one is a splendid ,
value.
A large number priced at
$25 to $50 to $75 to $100 '
Others up to $500.

Tho Nortli Platte Bund.
Editor of The Tribune:
For nearly a year past, ever since
tho war was declared, tho North Platte
Band havo been rendering their ser
vices to this community In all sorts
of patriotic w,ork freely and without
price.
It Is hardly fair to expect them to
contlnuo doing so without Bomo sub
stantial recognition. As those services
havo been rondored to tho wholo com
munity, tho recognition should come
from tho community as a whole, and
I know of no fairor or bettor way for
It to como than to havo tho City Coun.
ell mako an appropiutlon of $500.00 to
pay for concorts during Uio summer.
With a llttlo money in their
treasury tho band will be ablo to get
a supply of music and keep up thoir
prnctico nnd organization so ns to lie
ready when called upon for community
and patriotic service.
