- 1947 April 13, Kenneth O. Smith, “When the $25,000 Knock Sounded”, in The Philadelphia Inquirer, volume 236, number 103, section “Everybody’s Weekly”, page 11:
  It was Skip Tracers, acting for a client anxious to pay Mary B. Powers some back dividends from the Glen Alden Coal Company, that traced her to the New York hotel from which she retired as soon as public attention came her way. Small and sixtyish, the non-miserly Miss Powers simply packed up and disappeared. She was not an extreme recluse, but she loved her privacy. She even did her own dusting and her personal laundry rather than have these small extra contacts with the world. And the door of her personal privacy remained shut even after that $25,000 knock.
- 1968 July 12, George Hanst, “Lawyers Urge Court System Reforms”, in The Evening Sun, volume 117, number 73, Baltimore, Md., page C4:
  “If this affluent society can afford expensive cars, liquor, cosmetics and other luxuries it can most certainly afford a non-miserly system of justice particularly at the lowest level where the greatest impact is felt,” the committee declared.
- 2019 December 18, Laura Brehaut, “The case for Christmas tipping”, in National Post, volume 22, number 45, page A1:
  Tipping can be confusing, and the proliferation of food delivery apps has made it even more so. But since we’re in the midst of a season characterized by its spirit of giving, now seems like as good a time as any to revisit how to best compensate restaurant and hospitality workers for their efforts in a non-miserly fashion.
