STORY OF 300 DOLLS
UNUSUAL DISTRIBUTION SCHEME. Three hundred dolls found good homes last year in Philadelphia by an unusual method, Three children’s playgrounds lent the dolls to prospective owners with cards like library cards. If the doll did not give satisfaction she could be exchanged. In any case she was brought in once a week for inspection, and if she was clean and in good condition she was allowed to go home again with her new mother. Dolls badly cared for were found new homes with girls who would give them better treatment. Most of the “mothers” had earned the right to adopt their dolls permanently Iby the end of the season, and many had [learned a great deal about laundrywork.
