We present this month a small drawing of our gem collection which, in a crude way, 

 gives collectors an idea how it looks. As the stones are all finely cut and polished, they pre- 

 sent a brilliant effect, which cannot fail to attract great attention in a cabinet. These 13 

 stones could not be bought of any dealer in gems for less than $3 00 to $.5.00. and to take the 

 rough stones to a lapidary and have them cut, vrould cost twice this figure. We believe every 

 collector will want one of these collections. Thie price is only 50c. Tney will sell at $1.00 just 

 as easily. Many years ago a Rocky Mountain dealer in minerals oli'ered such a collection at 

 $1.00. They were considered a wonderful lot for the price. In fact, it is a mystery to every 

 one how the stones can be cut and polished and sold for any such figure as we offer. We con- 

 fess we do not understand how it is done, unless the parties who do the work are laborers who 

 receive but a few pennies a day for their labor. Send a dollar bill well wrapped in your letter 

 for two collections, sell one of them to a friend in your place who will be interested in cut 

 stones, for $1.00 and you have yours free. We guarantee that if they are shown to a few 

 friends they will readily sell at $1.00. If you succeed in selling one, as we are sure you will 

 and think there will be a demand for more, we will make you a figure on a dozen. Let us 

 hear from you at once.
