Most of the paper dolls on this site are from newspaper archives. All newspaper items have been copied in black and white. I have added color to some of the paper dolls. All of the coloring contests for movies and from ads were found searching through newspapers.
This COUNT THE BUBBLES contest appeared in newspapers in March of 1938. The winner received a new General Electric Washer, valued at $109.95. My mom had a washer like this in the 1950's (I was not born yet) so it is a style that was around for several decades.
