He dréw 5-to-8-year sentences on each of those charges, Other prison sentences were in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Colorado.

He talked to crew members of a Flying Fortress squadron who had already fought in 12 countries and acquired a pet monkey which liked only Americans.

MULTI-FACET Diamonds, Cut, not with the Usukl” 58 Facets, but with 98, are available in Rings from #100 up

I Hs uncut state, even the mest valuable diemond is dull and lusterless. Only cutting can gin it fire and brilliance. Ordinary cut diamonds are cut with a maximum of 58 facets, regardless of price. These facets appear on the top surface and on the underside of the diamond, neglecting the sides. The newest method of cutting adds 40 facets around the sides of the diamond, creating a myriad of light-reflecting srfaces. This Is the method that has produced MultiFacet, the most Important recent development in diamond cutting. Multi-Facet cuing emphasizes the color of a diamond. Thus only stones of choice color are used for Multi-Facet diamonds (any yollowness or off-color would be immediately revealed).

These 40 extra. facets around the giedls of a Muli-Racet diamond eliminate His rough edge and prevent chipping while stone is being set or worn.

proud that this store has been selected to present Multi-Faset diamonds To This

community. It is our intention to offer Muli-Facet Diamonds in settings worthy of thelr beauty. See our modestly priced Multi-Facet diamond rings from $100 up.
