OUR AMBITION IS TO HAVE
A BUSY JEWELRY STORE
I fully well realize that I cannot have a
busy Jewelry Store unless I sell you the
same Jewelry for less money than you can
buy elsewhere.
However, if I sell three or four times as
much Jewelry at my prices than I would if
I sold at the old-fashioned Jewelry prices,
in the end I will make more money and
have that busy Jewelry Store that it is my
ambition to have.
You can figure this out for yourself. If
I sell you and all your friends your Jewelry
I can afford to sell it cheaper than if I
merely sell one piece now and then.
It is not necessary to pay a big price just'
to get a good ' article. Mv Guarantee in
sures your getting the best,
elude that my Jewelry is
Jewelry can be just because
Do not con
not as fine as
it is cheaper.
The only difference is that I am satisfied
with a lesser profit. I want a busy Jewelry
Store and I am going to have a busy Jew
elry Store. My policy of reasonable prices
is going to make my store a busy one.
If you are not buying your Jewelry here, this is a good
time to begin.
