Description
Photograph caption dated April 17, 1963 reads, "A smoker is born - Timmy Hart, 18-month-old Reseda bachelor, was just minding his own business and playing with his toys when he came upon a pipe belonging to his dad, John Hart. After inspection, Timmy decided to try the pipe on the theory that a suave young man can't begin to appear sophisticated and cultivated too early in life. Timmy took a big drag, but found that even an unlit pipe has a strong character. From his facial expression at right, it appears that Timmy is going back to pipes that blow bubbles."; See images #00118292 through #00118294 for all photos in this series.
