The Valne of Organization.
A few days ago a member of
the Belton Merchants association
had occasion to ask for informa-
tion about a party that had just
located here. The report possi-
bly saved him several times the
amount of his associational dues.
Another memberjwas approached
by a party residing in the trade
territory of Belton for accommo-
dation for a short time. Not
knowing the applicant, and for-
getting to ask the clerk of the
association, he turned him" down.
Had he used the information
to which he was entitled he would
have gladly given the credit de-
sired and possibly gained a good
customer, and help to pay his
dues. Merchants meditate on
these cases and see if they are
not positive proof of the necessi-
ty and importance of the organi-
zation.
SELECTING

Perfection.
Essential Points of a Fine Diamond
ARE THERE ANY REALLY PERFECT
DIAMONDS?
Certainly! Plenty of them. Not so
man v as of the other kind, to be sure,
but enough to >;o around for all of
those who really want them.
o yea, it's true, some diamond mer-
chants say there is no such thing as
an absolutely perfect diamond, but
that is because they sell cheaper
stones. To begin with, only live per
cent of all diamonds mined will make
perfect stones as large as half caret
or larger after cutting. Naturally
thev are the most expensive. Then
most of this five j>er cent comes to
America in the rough to lie cut here.
That leaves few perfect stones to be
cut in Europe. That is the way of it.
We can sell you diamonds in any
size, that are perfect, in white or
blue-white colors, perfect in propor-
tion and brilliancy, perfectly flawless
—perfect every way.
We will sell diamonds subject to
exchange at full value for a larger
stone at any lime—six months or
six years.
