Little Salesmen: After 9 p.m.,
7 year old Tommie Nooman demonstrating the advantages of the Ideal Necktie
Form in a store window on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. His father
said, "He is the youngest demonstrator in America. Has been doing it
for several years from San Francisco to New York. We stay a month or six
weeks in a place. He works at it off and on." Remarks from the bystanders
were not having the best effect on Tommie.
