TRADE MARK. -J.TSMraiV'a* r. fi Vhe City cT tr jodrich kron, Z'aI* '• A Queer Old Bird It -; The Pelican Its bill holdstnore than its bellican. But at that, its heart is bigger than its bill. It is the only bird which shares its food with other and weaker fowl. So the queer old pelican looms up handsome Goodrich's eyes --eyes which see beauty that is more than skin deep.
