Advert for Frontier by Joyce California shoes 1941

Gallant and gay'. if yours is a border-line case of not knowing whether to buy on style or economy, we'd suggest you look at Cool-ees by Joyce. This Fronties model, for example, has a grand eye-catching swagger about it. What you don't see is the amazing amount of hard wear it will give; Joyce has scored a strategical victory for those whose taste outruns their income. Date: 1941
