...A thrill was enjoyed by all when two motorcycle officers appeared to escort all to the home of Mary Lewis. A catered repast was enjoyed-a look at Mary's dolls, ... and many things of heart interest to collectors... A patriotic doll made of crepe paper by Miss June Gavin and her mother was Mary's souvenir to her guests... On her skirt was the official stamp of United Federation of Doll Clubs., Inc. and the ink marking- M.E.L.-June 14, 1952. ...Trips like this enlighten us on manufacture of things we hold dear-cement friendships and make for others and bring to us the fact that factories like "IDEAL" spend much effort in bringing about dolls and toys at low cost for those who appreciate having them-for the Doll of Today is the Collector's Item of tomorrow. It is wonderful to have friends who standby so all may gather together for a Happy Doll Day." Snoozie, designed by Bernard Lipfert, had been in production since the 1930s, first in composition and then in vinyl (not using the same head mold however) and came in three sizes.
