Happy Birthday Rag Doll

It was late evening on a record-setting cold day. When the phone rang, I fully expected it to be a neighbor needing help, or a repair man putting me off yet again.

Instead, it was the familiar voice of a recent customer who had asked us to gift-wrap one of our Howard Furniture Care gift kits as a birthday present. At the time, she had also mentioned how much she admired our 85th Anniversary Raggedy Ann doll.

“She’s so perfect,” the customer said. Her husband had bought it for her as her birthday present and it had arrived just in time.

“Did you notice the address?” she asked. Of course, I said, but I thought it was a Christmas present so I didn’t want to say anything.

Did I mention we are very good at keeping secrets?
