"Elmwood West" The "Cloth World SOUTH 7th 673-2901 LEGGETT Cloth World Shelby Smith Rites Slated signment given the Federal Reserve by Congress last year when it enacted a Consumer Credit Protection Act. Congress divided enforcement responsibilities among nine federal agencies, with the Federal Trade Commission carrying the heaviest load.

Between now and July 1 the enforcement agencies will attempt to contact all banks, department stores, credit unions, mortgage, other brokers, businesses credit card that offer credit to spell out their new duties. For most, the first reaction will be a rush call to the printers. The basic thrust of the regulations is that in all credit; transactions the creditor must make written disclosure of the credit terms. Fine print is banned in spell-! ing out the information and the key words "finance charge" and "annual percentage rate" are to be printed more conspiciously than surrounding material. This information will appear, for instance, on the monthly statement department store customers receive when they make revolving charge account pur- chases.

The regulations also contain tough language aimed at advertisem*nts mentioning the availability of credit. When an ad in any way describes credit availability in order to promote sales it will have to list fully all pertinent facts, including the annual percentage rate, number of payments, and size of the down payment required. Criminal penalties for violation of the truth-in-lending rules will range up to a $5,000 fine, a year in jail or both. The customer may also file civil suit if the finance charge was at least $100 and under $1,000, suing for twice the amount of the charge plus court costs and a reasonable attorney's fee. J.

Jewelry fashions, facts, fictions 'Wholesale' Diamonds FRANK FITE Registered Jeweler American Gem Society "I can get it for you whole. sale" has for many years been a common expression among certain age groups whenever the purchase of furs, diamonds, clothing, furniture and appliances has arisen. In fact, anyone who felt inclined to purchase legitimately through a retailer was put down as not being "in." I often wonder though how 'in" it is to be unsure of the quality, the age, or the manufacturer of the article, and to not have the privilege of return or repair on the merchandise.

In addition, it may be inconvenient to have to pay spot cash, and yet have the embarrassment of not being proud to reveal its source to friends or fiancee. Young people sometimes find out the hard way about the differences in service between the things mentioned previously, there is also a difference regarding price. De Beers Consolidated Mines in a recent survey reports that diamonds are now selling at $550 to $2500 per carat for a 1 carat stone. This shows the wide variance in diamond qualities that affect the price you pay. It is a very easy thing for a diamond "wholesaler" selling to the public, to mark a diamond up, in order to seemingly "slash prices." You get what you pay for in regards to the diamond for no one in today's market has to give diamonds away; they are at a premium everywhere in the world.

But what people who buy "whole. sale" miss, is the service and truthful statement of quality for the dollars they pay. Considering this, buying "wholesale" can cost you more over the years, than to do business with one in whom you have confidence. Busch 250 CYPRESS Jewelers.
