1982 Avon - MRS. ALBEE - President's Club Albee Award Collectible. Full Size!

Persis Foster Eames Albee (May 30, 1836 – December 7, 1914), also known as PFE Albee, was an American businessperson and entrepreneur. She was a professional saleswoman for the California Perfume Company, which later became Avon Products, and is considered the first "Avon Lady" due to her successful marketing techniques and her recruiting and training of other sales personnel. She was a pioneer in getting women to become financially independent. Albee's pioneering role as an independent sales agent was followed by about 500,000 other "Avon Ladies" by 1972. "Albee Awards" have been presented since 1978 to exceptional President's Club Members in recognition of outstanding sales achievement. This beautiful lady stands 9 3/4 inches high. Made from porcelain bisque. In almost perfect condition for a 40 year old figurine. She is missing one of the feather tips on her hat. Made in Japan.
