American doll industry grows as Germany shipments fall
The United States increases doll production with factories running night shifts and a facility turning out about 7,000 composition heads daily. Doll heads are cast in plaster molds with a wheat paste and wax mix, finished with pink wax for a lifelike look. Artisans provide eyes, brows, lips, and shading via air brush. After painting, heads are sent to body manufacturers for assembly and sale. Also includes a recipe for Pineapple Salad with lettuce and a creamy dressing.
