"Bring therefore all the forces that ye may. 

 And lay incessant battery to her heart.' 1 ''

•USTOM decrees the Solitarie Diamond Ring to be the fitting pledge of love. How to get one has been the 

 young man's problem— now happily solved by the Loftis System of selling on easy payments. Our 

 "^ New Summer Catalogue shows a profusion of the newest goods in Diamonds, Watches 

 and Jewelry; goods that you will not find illustrated in the catalogues of other houses until next fall, for 

 we are the only house in the Diamond and Jewelry business which issues a complete catalogue between seas- 

 ons. Everything illustrated is quoted at exceptionally low prices and sold on the Popular Loftis System 

 of easy payments. Select any article that you like and it will be delivered at your door withall express charges 

 paid. Only one-fifth of the price need be paid at first; the balance being arranged in a series of small monthly 

 payments extending over eight months. No security is required; no interest is charged and no publicity is 

 created when you buy on our Confidential Charge Account System. If you make a selection it will 

 be upon the distinct understanding that your money will be promptly returned in case you decide not to pur- 

 chase. We are the largest concern in the business and sell only the finest genuine goods, and at prices ranging 

 from ten to twenty per cent below those of other houses. Every Diamond is sold under a written guarantee of 

 quality and value and may be exchanged at any time in the future for other goods or a larger stone at the full 

 original price. Our Confidential Credit System is open to all honest persons without regard to their 

 financial worth; but if you prefer to buy for spot cash we make the most startling and liberal offer ever made. 

 It is no less than guaranteeing the return of all money paid at any time within one year— less ten per cent, the reasonable cost 

 of doing business. We are one of the oldest houses in the trade (Est. 1858.) We refer to any bank in America— for instance, 

 ask your local banker to consult his Dun or Bradstreet book of commercial ratings and he will tell you that we stand at the top 

 in credit, reliability and promptness. We have a number of attractive booklets that we will be glad to send you if you write 

 promptly for our New Summer Catalogue.
