Description
Former President Truman displays a broad grin as he holds a sign which a photographer gave him to autograph. The sign read, "Quiet is requested for the benefit of those who have retired." Mr. Truman obliged the photographer with his autograph, but added to the sign, "I don't like too much quiet." The former Chief Executive who has "retired" from politics is in Boston on a fund raising tour for his Library. This is nearly the same photo as 76-387 but is mounted on heavy board to an overall size of 10 x 13.
