Description
Original print has vertical crease along right side.
This was taken at Burbank Fire Station 14; however, the structure captured here was later replaced with another in 1992.
Photograph caption dated February 27, 1956 reads, "Gee, it's kinda lonely - A couple of gallons of ice cream and a huge birthday cake are a bit filling for a six-year-old boy. But Jimmy, deserted by his firemen, tries to do a man-size job. He didn't want to ask his friends, especially girls. Jimmy has four sisters, no brother."; See images #00109268 through #00109271 for all photos in this series.
