and THIS RING
Priced .....
THE MOUNTINGS
ARE IDENTICAL .
THE DIAMOND
WEIGHT
IDENTICAL . . .
Jhe diarrjonds in the top
ring are a very fine blue-
white and free from imper-
fections. The diamonds in
the second ring are imper-
fect and slightly off-color.
The differences are not too
apparent even when both
rings are viewed together.
Values and prices of these
two rings, which are avail-
able in our large selection,
are explained under Brit-
ton's registration plan.
FACTORS
the VALUE OF A
dmoioud
O WEIGHT
The world over, diamonds are weighed by a common
system of carats and hundredths of carats. Britton’s,
too, sells diamonds on a basis of carat weight, th«
price per carat depending upon the quality.
COLOR
Diamonds are found in varying shades of eight different colors.
Those commonly sold vary from blue-white to yellow. Blue-white
is the finest and most valuable.
PERFECTION
Imperfections in diamonds are generally of two types: inclusions,
commonly called carbon spots; and cleavages, called feathers.
Both vary from those visible to the naked eye, to those found
only after careful inspection under a high power magnifier.
MAKE
Most diamonds sold are of three styles of cuttings: single cut,
Swiss cut and full cut . . . full cut being the most valuable.
Unsymmetrical, too thick, or too thin cuttings decrease the value
of the stone.
This diamond scale is
one of three delicate
instruments used by
Britton's in accurately
analyzing your dia-
monds. The other two,
the diamolite and dia-
mondscope will be shown
in later issues of this
series.

Make Sure Air Conditioner Matches Needs
BY EDNA MILES
JpICKING the right air conditioner for your needs takes greater
thought than that involved in the purchase of a deep freeze or
a washing machine.
With air conditioners coming within the budget of so many fami-
lies, it’s a good idea for the housewife to forearm herself with
practical information before the purchase is made.
Rules for getting the most for your money when buying an air
conditioner come from an expert in the field. According to him,
there’s a common assumption that a room-air-conditioner of a given
size will air-condition any room of a certain floor space. This is
quite untrue.
The first consideration, even before thinking about the size
should be the room’s exposure. The number and the size of the
windows in the room, it’s location in the house, construction of
the house, and whether the unit will be operated during the day or
only at night, comprise four very important factors.
Perhaps you have an upstairs bedroom in an uninsulated frame
house with a southwest exposure and no shade. You want to air-
condition the room during the daytime hours only This is the most
difficult kind of room to cool. Compare it to a downstairs living
room on the north side of a brick house. Even though both rooms
are the same size, the upstairs bedroom will take a larger unit to
pump out the heat that flows into the room.
But there are other considerations, such as the number of people
who normally occupy the room, and the height of the ceiling. In
addition, lemember that it s a poor idea to let direct sunshine into
the loom you want to air-condition. The use of awnings, jalousies
or blinds will help cut the unit’s operating costs.
By checking these points with your dealer, you may prevent
the waste that results from buying a room-air-conditioner that’s
too small or too large. Match the unit to your room’s requirements
and it will perform both efficiently and economically
A console model air conditioner like this one will cool a large
room or several small ones.
