Scope and content
JoAnn Wasson, age 7, holds the Shirley Temple doll that she just received from the Tacoma Times as a prize in their subscription drive. On October 14, 1936, the Times started a new subscription drive, and offered a "Genuine Shirley Temple Doll" to every little girl in Tacoma that could sign up 5 new subscribers to the paper. The dolls looked just like Shirley Temple as she appeared in the film "Curly Top". Both JoAnn and her 5-year-old sister Mary Jean received dolls. (T. Times 10-20-1936 p.3)
