The original caption for this photograph, written by photographer Lewis Hine, reads: A photograph of 7-year-old Tommie Noonan demonstrating the advantages of the Ideal Necktie Form in a store window on Pennsylvania Avenue, near 13th Street. His father said proudly "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." The remarks of appreciation from the by-standers were not having the best effect on Tommie.
This primary source comes from the Records of the U.S. House of Representatives.
