What can I do far you this morning?" “How much ore your best eggs?” asked Jones. “Well," said Jenks, ''two more than I am now selling for twenty-four cents would make them two cents per dosen less than they now are.” "All right." said Jones. "Send twen ty-four cents worth over to the house right away. My wife is waiting for them.” How many eggs did he buy?
