1924 Cover Youth's Companion Wilbur D Nesbit Poem Smile Quotation Twenties YYC5

"Please note that this is a cover only!

This is an original 1924 two-color cover for The Youth's Companion magazine, July 3, 1924, that features a quote from poet Wilbur D. Nesbit that reads; "The thing that goes the farthest towards making life worthwhile, that costs the lease and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fellowmen will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It's full of worth and goodness too, with manly kindness blent - it's worth a million dollars and doesn't cost a cent."
