Turn Over A New Leaf. 
E HAVE A PAGE FOR YOU in our ledger, where we invite you to open a Confidential 
Charge Account fora Diamond. See how easy it is to doit under the LOFTIS SYSTEM: 
You simply make a selection of a Diamond, Watch or other article from the finest line 
of goods ever illustrated ina catalogue. Your selection will at once be sent to you for 
examination—if it is all that you anticipated and satisfactory in quality, pattern and 
price, you pay one-fifth and keep it, sending the balance to us in eight equal monthly 
‘h 
payments. If after seeing the article you should decide not to buy, you have only to 
send it back to us at our expense. In any case you will be nothing out, for we pay all 
charges and assume all risk. Our Diamonds are of specially selected, fine quality and 
at our prices, and on our easy terms, we secure a customer nineteen times out of twenty when we 
show goods. We do the largest Diamond and Watch business in the world—that explains 
everything. Nocompetitor can meet us in prices, qualities, terms or liberal, progressive methods. 
Our house is just entering its fifty-sixth year in the Diamond and Jewelry business, during 
which time it has grown from a small shop, to the largest Diamond and Watch house in the 
world. Wegivea written guarantee with every Diamond—ask your local banker if it is good. 
He will turn to his book of Commercial Ratings and tell you that we stand very high in the 
business world, and that anything we say or sign is good as gold, and that our representations may be accepted without 
question. In exchange of Diamonds; refund of monies paid, and all other features of a broad-guage, liberal policy our house 
stands alone. There is one offer we have made for more than two years, and which has been accepted by thousands of custom- 
ers, but no competitor has followed us in making it, for the reason that their smaller volume of business would not permit them 
to do business on a ten percent margin. Here is the offer: Pay cash for any Diamond and we will give youa written agree- 
ment to refund all that you pay—less ten percent, at any time within one year. You might under this offer pay $50 fora 
Diamond; wear it a year then send it back to us and get $45, making the cost of wearing a fine Diamond a whole year, less than 
ten cents per week. ACharge Account with us is a confidential matter. There are no vexatious delays or disagreeable prelim- 
inaries—everything is prompt, pleasant and guaranteed to be satisfactory. Write today for our beautiful new catalog.

Diamonds - Watches Dept. A-82, 92to 98 State St., 
We have in this section black bears, deer, 
turkeys, squirrels and quails, also geese and 
ducks in winter. When I can find a hammer 
fitted for all purposes from driving a nail to 
cutting a steel rail or welding driving rods, 
I shall then hope to find a gun suitable for 
all our native game. My. armament con- 
sists of a 22, a .303 Savage and a 38-40, 
while my shot gun is a 16 gauge 
pump. The latter I expected to lay aside 
when a 20 gauge is put on the market. 
The cost of this outfit need not exceed $70 
unless one is able to spend more for extra 
finish. I have a practical outfit with 
which to enjoy the sport of hunting. If 
I hunted for market I should use nothing 
but a 10 gauge double barrel gun, but all 
the game I kill in 5 years would not make 
me a game hog. I advise those who want 
to be posted on guns and ammunition 
to obtain the Savage and Remington 
catalogues and the Ideal hand book, and 
mix reading matter with horse sense. Steer 
clear of hoggishness, with REecRrEATION for 
WANT A REEL? 
You can get one for nothing.
