Gifts to celebrate the birth of a
child are a growing grassroots tradition and your biggest untapped
jewelry marketing opportunity.
Back in my days of realized fertility,
when a wife gave birth, she didn't receive a diamond-encrusted
"thank you" gem from her husband.
She may have gotten flowers, a teary
declaration of eternal love and devotion, a new heavy duty Maytag
washer, or even an enthusiastic promise to stop eyeing other dames -
but she didn't get a costly "Atta girl!" prize.

LaRouche Sunday, October 14
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>The news has
been ripe with reports of jewelry salesman being robbed at gunpoint. In
fact, jewelry salesman can be carrying more in jewelry, gems and
diamonds than an armored truck. Many of these salesman travel from
state to state and as such, they arrive at airports around the country,
rent a car, pop their goods into the trunk and they're off to meet with
their clients.
