Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated September 26, 1949 partially reads, "Since, 1930, the phrase 'tick tock' has been more than a clock's mechanical heartbeat to Mrs. Art Johnson. It's been both a name and a hobby to Mrs. Johnson--first the name of the Hollywood tearoom she opened with her husband, and later a hobby. Now, at their 2-year-old branch restaurant in the Valley, the Tick Tock Toluca, 10121 Riverside Dr., Toluca Lake, she continues her hobby--collecting antique clocks--by lining the walls with 25 choice timekeepers."
