SIZE IS NOT
ALWAYS VALUE
We will suppose you are fur.
nishing a room and require a
picture for. a certain position on
the wall.
Would you think of asking
your dealer, "How much will
it cost for a picture 18x24 in-
ches? Certainly not, He
would think you demented, be-
cause such a picture might be
the work of a master or a mere
"Pot Boiler,"
Quality determine value not
size.
Just so with diamonds, a
stone of a certain size might be
cheap at $200.00 or dear at
$125.00. Color, Freedom From
Flaws, perfection of cutting, are
determining factors, even more
than size.
We aim to give our Customers
good Diamonds, Quality First
With us. Cail and purchase
Your Diamonds here.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF'
SENDING IN MEWS
One of the things that ought to
Ubec me fixed habits in every house -
old in Clinton is that of sending
The New Era the news items that
they may know of; tell us of your
news and any neighborhood or other
items that will be of interest to
yourself, your neighbors or your
friends.
Every lodge, church body or
social organization should have some
representative who will promptly
and carefully after its news report-
ing. If you think some organization
has better news service than your
own, it Is probably because that or-
ganization looks after such matters
better.
Write your items and send them
In when possible. Or telephone
them to No, 30, but please don't Ask,
that long lists of names be taken
over) telephone, as it not only re-
quires much time, but is fruitful in
possibilities of error.
Above ail, be early. Never watt
till late on Thursday to send an item
that can be sent in days before,
The New lira telephone number is
3o•'and at nights 95. Fix them In
your mind,
