This is a fun framed print of a poem titled "Keep at it and Grin!" by Carlyle F. Straub, published as a Buzza Motto in 1925. The poem encourages a positive outlook, suggesting that smiling and maintaining a cheerful attitude will lead to success and acceptance, while a negative approach will result in isolation. The poem reads:

Keep at it and Grin!

Smile, and the world smiles with you;

Knock, and you go it alone;

For the cheerful grin will let you in,

Where the knocker is never known.

The print features an illustration at the bottom, depicting stylized houses on top of a hill with pointed roofs. The background of the print is a cheery yellow, and it is framed in a dark wood. About 6.5"x4.5" in size. The print looks to have a few light stains behind the words around knocker and known. It also has a faint smudge at the top left corner- none of these are bad, but please note all photos.

The majority of the items in my shop are vintage or antique, e.g., have been used.Vintage and antique items by their very nature have some wear, imperfections, and signs of age/time. This is what gives them their character, charm, and collectability. Please examine the photos carefully for any flaws that I may have missed in my description. My photos are considered part of the item’s description. I define vintage as 20+ years old and vintage indicates age.  Also, please feel free to message for more photos and or details.
