Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 163, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 July 1918 — Jewelry or Munitions. [ARTICLE]

Jewelry or Munitions.

A high official in the British ministry of munitions says that there are several reasons why people should not buy platinum jewelry. In the first place. It is very expensive; then the world supply has almost been exhausted, and also the men at the front need more munitions, and platinum is required for the manufacture of explosives wherewith to win the war. Opportunities are very sensitive; if you slight their first visit you seldom see them again.—Anon. A war ending in exhaustion is not a victory.
