“Smokey” Buchanan from the West Palm Beach police force, measuring the bathing suit of Betty Fringle on Palm Beach, to ensure that it conforms with regulations introduced by the beach censors. c.1925

I've found several of these photos and I thought they were jokes until I saw that scene in Boardwalk Empire where a woman on the beach got a ticket because her swimsuit bottoms were too short. 

Looks like he's having a great time enforcing the laws.

Looks like a pretty cool job to me :) Today you have to be part of the TSA's enhanced security to get the same kind of pleasure.
