Wide World Photos, Inc. · July 9, 1953

A sweet smile, a kindly face and a capacity for looking like just another shopper -- but, withal, a pair of sharp eyes and a good memory -- have helped Miss Effie Densmore, above, of Worcester, Mass., corner shoplifters. Miss Densmore has handled a thousand such larceny cases in the last ten years. She was a store clerk for 40 years -- and then a detective for ten. She has now gone into a well-earned retirement.
