Former Lawrence Woman Turns Hobby Into Business Enterprise
A former Lawrence resident, Mrs. Eva Anderson Dolbee of Los Angeles, has transformed a hobby of making jig-saw puzzles into a growing business. She runs a home shop at 10572 Kinnard Avenue, Los Angeles, cutting thousands of pieces, labeling and packing each puzzle, and sourcing plywood and pictures. Her puzzles, ranging from 100 to 2000 pieces, are sold at Robinson's and in sixteen rental libraries including Berkeley Library, with orders coming from rental libraries, stores, and even Shanghai. She notes puzzles appeal during low mood times and are used in parties and by movie crews on sets, with a dedication to sending finished puzzles to veterans hospitals after library circulation.
