More on "Squeaky Wheel"

[Sam Clements]

Historic Wall Street Journal, 20 May, 1910. p2

"You don't like a kicker/He doesn't tend to peace/But the wheel that squeaks
the loudest/Is the wheel that gets the grease."   --Wisconsin Banker

Fred,

I don't know if you have access to HWSJ, but it's loaded with pithy column
filler like this.
