Perhaps is she didn’t have her hands at her sides, holding out her dress like that—perhaps, then, she wouldn’t look so spectral. I know she’s just a neatly-dressed little girl. But, there’s something about her, like most Pyle’s Pearline promotional printed products, that’s just on on the other side of spooky. So, let’s see what the back of this little haint says.

of the
Thousands
of
Testimonials
for
PEARLINE.
EXTRAORDINARY CLEANSER.
If our women readers could only
understand what a convenience
economy and thorough cleanser
“Pyle’s Pealine” is, they would never
use anything else. It is pure and free from
any injurious ingredient. It is economical
because only the requisite quantity is used at
a time. While soap may slip from the fingers
and be lost in the water to dissolve, Pearline
is used only in quantities required. It is bet-
ter adapted for cleansing around the house
than any known article. It is more conven-
ient than anything ever discovered, and it is
as suitable for the most delicate lace or the
finest linen as for the dirtiest horse-blanket,
and it will make either as “clean as a
whistle” in short order. All grocers sell
it, and if the reader don’t know of it
she may take our word for it.

Well, that didn't make a whole lot of sense, did it? I suppose it's because she's a ghost.
So, what's this spoooooky little girl trying to tell us? Let's have a caption contest to see your thoughts. Answers in the comments section, please.

Braaaaaaains. You can wash your brains.
With one easy mixture.
"IT knows my name. It's my name." And, then you see Pyle written on the wall.
Just like "The Haunting." The good one. Not the one with Michael Douglas' wife.
My name is talking Tina and I DON'T like you! (I bet you're a lye soap user.)
Yay! Very good reference. There was a Krusty the Klown doll with a similar disposition.
Redrum. Redrum.
All work and no play...
She does look like a Talking Tina. She was the first Bride of Chucky.
The divorce was less than amiable.
I'd run if I saw her.
Run to get Pyle's Pearline.
Pearline Activity IV.
Now in theatres.
Jeez. Scary girl.
She knows who you are, Angelo. And, she's seen what you've done.
I had a doll that looked like that when I was a child. I was scared of it and made my mother hide in the closet at night.
Sounds like a charming childhood companion.
