I her husband, Kenneth, and their
three sons.
So, with too much time on her
hands, Mrs. Allen began looking
for something that she could do.
Using the last S600 of the money
she had obtained in a settlement
as a result of. the accident, Mrs.
Allen purchased a second-hand
Varl-typer. This machine is op-
erated in much the same man-
ner as a typewriter, and pro-
duces type of various sizes.
"I worked at it until I felt I
had it mastered, and then I called
on printers, stationery firms, the
churches, and anyone else I fig-
ured might have use for such
work,” Mrs: Allen says.
She set up an office in the din-
ing room of her home, but within
18 months the business had grown
too large for the house. Mrs. Allen
borrowed $2,000, hired another wo-
man to help her, and moved into
a one-room office in downtown
Kansas City.
Today, the company is in its
third office, and 13 persons are
employed by Mrs. Allen. The com-
pany specializes in producing lay-
outs for catalogues, but also han-
dles special jobs for printing com-
panies.

any way you wish.
One of the season’s handsomest
books is a reminder of all this.
Boxed, tastefully bound and print-
ed, with 165 plates, some of them
in beautiful color, it is the catalog
of a pioneering folk art collection.
This book Is “The Abby Al-
drich Rockefeller Folk Art Col-
lection,” published by Colonial
Williamsburg, Va., and distribu-
ted by Little, Brown.
There was a time, and most of
you can remember it, when you
could buy an attic full of authentic [
folk art for no more than the price
of this publication — $17.50.

"You can't do it with education"
Wilder Imlieved. “True folk ex-
pression is almost impossible when
you are encumbered with too
much learning."
"The appreciation in value is
staggering," he said, recalling that
while he was with the Colorado
Springs Fine Arts Center before
going to Williamsburg in 1953 he
spent, hesitantly, $100 for an ob-
ject that now is worth easily $1,000.

among a sentimental people who
believed, simply, that it was bet-
ter to have a pretty colored than
uncolored seaehest or bride’s
box; or who found that the only
record they could keep of dear
baby, or beloved grandmother,
was the stiff likeness done by
the man who began his “art”
career by painting wagons.
“Folk art existed in two phases,”
said Wilder, who also is Colinial

By RAY STEPHENS
KANSAS CITY IB - Ten years
ago a physician told Mrs. Cather-
ine Allen she never would walk
again.
He couldn't have been more
wrong in his wheelchair diagnosis.
Not only has the 45-year-old Kan-
sas City housewife learned to walk
again, she also has converted
what could have been a tragedy
into a business which grossed $60,-
000 last year. ,
It wae a bleak day in 1M7
when a 10-ton truck crashed in-
to the car which Mrs. Allen was
driving near Kansas City. Her
right leg virtually was crushed
in the accident.
‘"You’ll never walk again,’ the
doctor told me,” says Mrs. Allen.
“But I just knew that if I got a
wheelchair, I might as well give
up.
“Instead I insisted on being put
into a walking cast and having
crutches. One doctor did say that
u if I wanted to walk badly enough;
’ I would do it providing I could
yitand the pain.”
FOR THREE long months
she left the hospital, Mrs.
was confined to her home .......
she worked to regain use of the
