Description:
View of children playing in Edison fountain at Grand Circus Park. Sign on fountain reads: "Warning, no swimming in this fountain by order of Dept. Parks & Recreation." Label on back: "Kids in Grand Circus Park show disbelief in sign. When the thermometer climbs high the Edison Fountain in Grand Circus Park becomes a magnet for sweltering kids, despite the warning sign posted in full view. Plunging for pennies tossed in by park loiterers has become a major pastime between visits of policemen on the downtown beat." Stamped on back: "July 26 (28), 1943."
