Forty five minutes from the heart of the Valley, halfway between Ventura Blvd. and the Pacific Ocean, is one of the West's exclusive resort spots for female teenagers--the Teen-age Beauty Farm. 'This is a beauty farm for girls with weight problems, skin problems and for those who want to learn poise and the social graces,' said Mrs. J. Grant Gerson, who, with her husband, directs the farm.

That pool looks so inviting on these hot days. Thanks for posting George!
Present Valley
I really appreciate you sharing these old photos.
Curious how times have not changed that much since 1963, still lots of emphasis on how women look!
