Description
Photograph article dated May 21, 1964 partially reads, "There are more swimming pools in the San Fernando Valley than in all of Europe and Asia combined. With some 30,000 pools and the title of swimming pool capital of the world, one would think building a pool would be simple. Such is not the case. So says Mr. Robert F. Kaufmann, Vice President of Sunset Pools, Inc... When a family buys a swimming pool they must remember that it is one of the most important investments they will ever make and probably the largest investment in home improvement, he said."
