Meet DAVID DANIEL, A Little Boy Paper Doll

Taffy Pulling on Halloween

October 25, 1914.  This quaint illustration is from a newspaper article about decorating for Halloween.

Make This SPOOL CAT

July 26, 1931.  "Make This Spool Cat.  Cut out pussy's head and tail upon the dotted lines.  Next mount these upon thin cardboard or rather heavy paper.  Color pussy as you think best.  Now glue the head and tail to the ends of a small-sized spool as shown in the little illustration so that the cat can stand.  You can make many more such animals with the aid of ordinary spools and can collect quite a zoo full!"  A very cute idea submitted by S. L. T. Junior member, Hope Nelson.  I have posted several paper dolls that were drawn by Hope Nelson - if the dolls are not on this blog then check my old blog.

ANNA MAY WONG Paper Doll

1974.  Another paper doll from the fabulous book by TOM TIERNEY, "Thirty from the 30's".  This is a lovely paper doll of the actress, ANNA MAY WONG, and a costume from the movie, DAUGHTER OF SHANGHAI.  The book includes three more costumes for this paper doll.  I really like that all of the paper dolls are in black and white, just like the movies of the 1930's.

"Any treat will stop a trick . . . as long as it's from POST TREAT-PAK"

October 27, 1958.  LIFE Magazine.  I really like the DICK SARGENT illustrations for POST Cereals.  "No tricks this Halloween when the treat's from POST Treat-Pak.  Six boxes of snack cereals especially for children.  Sugar Crisp, Sugar Rice Krinkles and new POST Alpha-Bits . . . every one -- fun!"
