Having been employed by the Himalaya Mining Co. at their celebrated mines in California for the past ten (10) years, I have made Mineralogy a study. I have produced for the above Company the most wonderful gems ever known. In order to give my race the benefit of my knowledge and experience, I will save them 100 per cent, on all handsome pieces of jewelry they wish to purchase, small or large, for the holidays or hereafter. The above Company produces the most wonderful Tourmalines, Chrysoprase and Turquoise, and handles all kinds of precious and semiprecious stones. I can furnish the most beautiful stone from $1.00 up. All mail orders promptly filled accompanied with money orders. If articles are not satisfactory, money will be cheerfully refunded. I will give with each sale, one (1) piece of rough Tourmaline as it comes from the mine, as a specimen. These tourmalines can be had in all colors, shapes and sizes, and are brilliant as any diamond. The Chrysoprase we have in all shades of green, almost like the emerald in color, and the turquoise are simply beautiful blue, and the matrix exquisitely marked. No need of wearing an imitation stone. Call and see my display. All mail orders are solicited. 640 Chamber of Commerce Bldg. Phone Main 1044. We have personally inspected Brave’s stock of gem’s and find them as stated and our people can safely patronize Mr. Braye. He has these gems in the rough as taken from the mines. Mr. Braye is a mineralogist of 23 years experience and is employed by a big New York firm as an expert. He has secured a big block of real estate at Alamitos beach and has lots there at reasonable prices. One fourth down and balance to suit.
