“Robert has outgrown his bath-tub and Mamma and Papa have purchased for him a large blue and white tub.”

Robert with Florence

“Robert is a big boy now (2 yrs. old). He wears ‘Coveralls’ and ‘Helps daddy in the garage.”

One year old

2041 Damuth St Oakland

“He purchased a white silk bonnet, a blue and white sweater, a pair of blue and white bootees, and a tiny blue and white knit cape. He caused a great deal of commotion in the store where he pur-chased his clothes; as all of the clerks left their counters and rushed over to him. One of the girls held him while Mamma picked out his sweater.”
