One feeds the brain, the other the stomach both are commendable acts. This is how Joyce does it : Every family requires staple gro ceries, and at Christmas a turkey, too. Joyce decided upon a combination grocery ordei, composed of standard articles. Then he bought them in such immense quantities for his 3 stores--that the difference between regular prices and "Joyce" prices, made it commercially possible to give a ten-pound turkey for good measure. This is the Grocery Order you must buy to get the Ten-Pound Turkey Free. i'i Pniiuil s,i(iv Invfc'q He!
