Jigsaw puzzle:Larry Harmon's T.V. Bozo The Clown

The Whitman Publishing Company entered the paper doll business in a round-about way. In 1916 the Hamming-Whitman Publishing Company of Chicago defaulted on its bills, and its main creditor, Western Publishing Company in Racine, Wisconsin, acquired all of the Chicago outfit's assets. Western established a subsidiary it named Whitman and continued publishing Hamming-Whitman's books for children. Soon it added a number of other products like boxed games, jigsaw puzzles, and paper dolls.
