Scope and content
Four-year-old Doreen Elaine Weinstone cuddles with her Shirley Temple doll in October of 1936, the first doll won in the Tacoma Times' subscription contest. For enlisting five new 24-week subscribers in just a few hours, she won a 17-inch Shirley Temple doll dressed in a replica of the accordion-pleated organdie dress that the star wore in "Curly Top." The doll has soft fluffy golden curls and hazel eyes that open and close. To make sure that it's authentic, the doll comes with a celluloid picture button and an autographed color picture of Shirley. Doreen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. Weinstone of 509 1/2 South "L" Street. (T. Times 10/17/1936, pg. 1; T.Times -Ad for doll, 10-17-36, p. 11)
