Publishers the keilly at britton co. chica&o THIS BELONGS TO BILL WRIGHT PUBLISHERS THE REILLY a BRITTON CO. CHICAGO. B Y THE courtesy of Mr. William Randolph Hearst, of the Hearst newspapers, in which the series of “Joys and Glooms” orig- inated, the artist is enabled to select and repro- duce this collection of sketches. May this book cause the Joys to banish the Glooms from among those who turn these pages. When old Field Marshal Gloom and his staff meet you in the street and General Despair hisses in your ear, “Fll Get You Yeti” remember the brave and gallant army of General Joy, always within call. When General Knocker skulks behind the trees taking potshots at you, remember that Colonel Boost has his men posted to pick off the enemy. Whistle for Captain Courage. Beat the drum; and troops of Joys will scatter the regiments of Misery, Anguish, Revenge, Worry, Jealousy and Envy. Optimism will pluck handfuls out of the beard of Old Grouch. Good Cheer will send Jinx Hoodoo on the run. Don’t be a Gloom. Be a Joy. It is so easy.
