Quest for Dolls
Starts Seattle
Woman’s Business
By PAUL C. WAGNER
AP Newsfeatures
SEATTLE —The Keenan Kids,
Sweetie Marie and Sonny Boy—
brother and sister dolls—are the
original creations of Ann Kee-
nan’s doll family.
“Necessity is the mother of in-

now has a flourishing doll busi-
ness here.
Five years ago at Christmas
time, Mrs. Keenan said, she had
presents to buy for nieces, but no
money. The girls would want
dolls. So she made them. Some
cloth and cotton stuffing; a dress
for the girl doll; and pants for
the boy doll. A little paint here
and there on a cheek and there
were the dolls.
The girls began to take the
dolls to bed with them Mrs. Kee-
nan said. They were cuddly and

ANN KEENAN . . .
Doll family pays off.
warm. The soft cotton wouldn’t
lay hard underneath the girls
while they were asleep.
Friends saw the dolls; they
wanted some. A salesman was
among the friends, and that is
how the dolls joined Santa Claus
in the department stores.
A Seattle department store or-
dered 120 dozen. Then a Tacoma
store ordered. The orders started
Mrs. Keenan in a doll shop.
In 1947 Mrs. Keenan visited a
toy fair in New York City and
had her dolls on exhibit. A toy
representative wanted to handle
the sales for her. Other salesmen
took the Keenan Kids to other
parts of the United States. Now
the dolls are numbered in the
thousands.
With such success for the Kee-
nan Kids, Sweetie Marie and
Sonny Boy, requests came for
other brother and sister dolls.
Soon Mrs. Keenan had. Dickey
Boy and Betsy to join their old-
er brother and sister.
Now Mrs. Keenan has several
women helping her make the
dolls.
