ADVERTISING POSTCARD -  Dainty Dorothy Ribbons - 1908:  Dainty Dorothy was a line of dolls sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. in the United States and Eaton Co. in Canada from about 1910 to 1930. In the 1912 Sears’ catalog, they were described as, “Our very finest quality kid body dolls, ready for dressing, with most beautiful and perfect bisque heads. Finest possible quality hand-curled mohair wig, all sewn on net foundation, parted and ribbon tied.” The bisque shoulder heads featured sleeping eyes with real upper eyelashes and an open mouth with four upper teeth.  Dorothy Dainty ribbons were named after the little girl featured in the Dorothy Dainty series of children’s books. The books were published from 1902-1923 and followed the adventures of Dorothy Dainty, the only child of wealthy parents. Dorothy Dainty ribbons were made of silk and were sold singly in envelopes and also in boxed sets. Hair Bow Sets included six assorted color ribbons, and Sash Sets contained a sash and two matching hair bows.  This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1908, is in good condition, but there is edge wear and the loss of the card's upper left-hand corner.
