ADVERTISEMENTS
When you want to buy
WATCHES, DIAMONDS AND JEWELLERY
it pays best in the long run to buy in an established market. Pro- miscuous buying may occasionally be useful, but it is usually a battle of wits with the dice loaded against the buyer. Deal with an established firm whose principals know enough of the gem market to specialise. Ask us to call to show you our stock.
