Orleene HUNT PRATT is probably the same individual listed as PRATT, H (Mrs.), wife of Hastings PRATT, even though her age is wildly incorrect (listed as 28 years old). No other information is provided about Mrs. PRATT although Hastings PRATT is listed as a manager for the Fuller Brush Co., which is accurate.
