Dear Sir: , For a couple of years past I have, been considering tho pur chase of a nice Diamond Ring, but havo been putting the mat ter off, thinking I could moke better use of the money. VI11 you tell mo honestly whether you think I should purchase now or could I do better by tvating until a later day, when tho prices may be somewhat lower? Yours very truly, Answer: Omaha, May 8. Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry re garding the prices of Diamonds wo would say that "thero is no time like tho present." Had you purchased such a stono ten years ago you would have pro fited considerably upon your Investment, and there Is equal certainty that the tendency Is towards higher prices la the future Instead of lower. In fact there has been a steady, unbroken climb in price for the last twenty years, and be yond question this will still continue. Diamonds are different from a manufactured or grown ar ticle In this respect; as soon as the demand tor any manufac tured article becomes abnor mally great, and prices rise, other producers enter the field and thus regulate the price. In the case of Diamonds, as perhaps you are aware, they come almost exclusively from Bouth Africa, where the mines are controlled by the Do Beers Syndicate. This la one of tho closest and wealthiest corpora tions In exstenco, and the out put of stones to the cutters in Amsterdam Is regulated by them systematically. Then, too. It Is claimed by those who are in a posit: lu to know that tho supply Is cer tainly decreasing. Diamonds, as you perhaps know, are found In what might be called "shoots" or "tubes" of clay, extending down Into the bowels of the earth, having been shot therefrom in ages past by vol canic eruption. They are now mined at over 3,200 feet below the surface, we are told, and the cost of such work Is con sequently much greater man when the mining was conduct ed nearer the surface. Since you are considering the question of Diamonds, wo think we could Interest you In a visit to our Diamond Roam, without placing you under the slightest obligation to pur chase. We make a specialty of stones ot the very highest stan dard, stones which will In crease In value yearly In this respect differing from almost every other investment in so called luxuries. Yours very truly. Albert Edholm 10th and, Harney OMAIIA. ..Graduation Gifts..
