Smile It Pays and the Power of a Happy Greeting
A Corsicana Sun note extols smiling as a low cost asset that earns friends, contrasts it with grouchiness, and urges the reader to smile. It spots social payoff in daily courtesy. The item then shifts to social notes, mentioning Mrs. Ed Steves and family visiting in San Antonio. It closes with a Chicago trial scene where a plaintiff reveals he investigates for the defendant railroad and claims a fraudulent verdict.
