Diamonds Termed Sound Investment Diamond Merchant Points Out Values CHICAGO (UP) — Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and in the opijaidn of Leo Pevsner they’re a good Investment for just about anyone. Pentsner, a fourth generation diamond merchant, said diamonds have doubled in value in the last 20 years. And that’s a record most other items around the house can’t match. Pevsner, who serves more than 1,000 jewelers across the errantry, put it this way: ‘‘An automobile you bought 20 years ago has almost no monetary value today. The same is true of furniture and most other things. “But diamonds you bought 20

years ago were valuable then, and today their value has doubled.” A one-carat diamond worth S6OO in 1936 would sell for about SI,OOO today, he said. Pevsner credits an expanding leconomy and tbe inherent durability of diamonds for this happy state of affairs. The fact that a diamond lasts forever explains why it has become a traditional symbol of love, Pevsner said. j. Pevsner believes Europeans are jmore diamond—minded than Americans, and view the baubles in a (commercial light. ’ “They’ve found diamonds to b'e a wise investment because in case •of disaster they can be salvaged easily,” he said. 1 “During the war a lot of people ‘who were victims —or~tyramy bought their way out of concentration campus and across the borders with their diamonds. > --’‘As a matter of fact, diamonds .‘Were better than money in those cases. ‘ “The trouble with securities is (that you can’t weiir stocks and -bonds on your finger.” he said. ‘ “And the ‘dumb’ blonde who’s ■fond of diamonds isn’t so dumb, really.” About five quarts of milk make one pound of American cheese.
