"KIDS. . . win a ticket to the White Sox ballgame. Enter the "Draw Your Dad" Contest! It's easy and lots of fun! Tickets to the White Sox game given to 200 lucky winners. Here's an outline of a man. Try to draw in your dad's face. He's holding a pipe in his hand - you draw his hands. Now color his suit or make it a sport coat and slacks. Fill in the color in his hat, tie, shirt, socks and shoes. Bring your completed picture to the Plaza office." This newspaper contest appeared in the Economist on June 15, 1960.
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.
