R. Lee Sharpe, tho "Smile Mon.”
Down in Atlanta, Georgia, lives Jt.
Lee Sharpe, nnd his address, at one
time, was 13 Liickie stroot.
Ho is tho editor of sevornl trade jour-
nlils, nnd the only living man outside
of captivity that could turn a trade
magazine into things of joyous, nrt.f-i|l
beauty. ,
Evon tho advertisements appearing
in his publications are "dolled” up
with beautiful pictures of landscapes
scones and dancing maidens and other
objects of good clioor.
Down South they call R. Loo Sharpe
tho "Smilo Man.” Tho name fits the
jfann. Sharpe doesn’t possess a dollar
abovo his actual daily needs, nnd per
haps nover will, because his mind does
not mu ill tho direction of money, but
just the same there aro thousands of
peoplo who linvo moro dollnrs thnn they
need who would givo much to be as
hTippy as lie is.
And why is he lmppy? Because he
makes it his business to help others find
happiness. Wo would wngor our last
year’s straw hat against a peanut that
if R. Loo Sharpe were suddenly set
adrift on somo lonely island inhabited
bv half savages ho would have them
qlotliing themselves in beautiful gar
ments made from nn nrtistic combina
tion of shades nnd colors of grass before
ho lmd boon there a week.
■ Such men ns Slmrpo may never enrich
the world a single penny as faT as
monoy is concornod, but, thoy onrich it
in something far superior to money.
They oatue tho dignified and the mou
cy-mnddoaed folks to relax and smile.

Long llvo R. Lee Shnrpo nnd his sort
no matter whero thoy are or how thoy
function in life. Tho world noods more
of their sort. Tho main objoct of this
mngazln'0 is to inject into pooplo’s

R. Leo Shnrpo is so fond of spreading
