Walker Cloth Dolls

     ©  Kathy Duncan, 2022

I am working on my revision for the location of Izannah Walker's house in Central Falls, Rhode Island. 

In the meantime, I thought I would share another advertisement for Izannah's dolls that was placed by E. W. Billings in the Providence Evening Press in Providence, Rhode Island in 1875.









This little advertisement suggests a couple of things. One, the business relationship between Izannah and Billings was ongoing. Two, her dolls were offered in May, a time of year other than Christmas -  in a time period when advertisements for dolls rarely appeared at any other time of the year.
