Undated: Barbie's Dream House

Mattel begins selling the cardboard fold-up house -- one room, complete with a closet, record albums and a photo of Ken. A print advertisement reads: Here's where Barbie lives! Her house comes with a convenient carrying handle, includes a complete suite of easy-to-assemble, modern, slim-line furniture and all the special living accessories Barbie has chosen for her home. Folds away neatly and compactly when not in use. $8.00 (Slightly higher west of the Rockies)
