CARTERSVILLE PLANT
IS FILLING ORDER FOR
14.000 DOZEN DOLLS
Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 7.—Che
nille dolls have caught the fancy
of the nation's youngsters, and to
day a Cartersville plant is work
ing on an order for 1,000 dozen.
The deadline on the order is
Christmas, and the plant, operat
ed by the Mary Anne Novelty Co.,
is turning out between 700 and
1,000 dolls a week.
It is directed by two women—
Mrs. Wm. A. Galt and Miss Anne
Walton—and another, Mrs. D. W.
Jarrett, is night superintendent.
They have been making dolls
from chenille products for more
than two years, but only in recent
months have they secured nation
wide distribution for their output
now exceeded by the demand.
Many of the plant's workers are
in the older age brackets and
were unable to find war employ

I wish to try to write a few
words to the sweet memory of
Grandma. We know that for one
year and four months you have
been enjoying those many precious
treasures you laid up in God's
Kingdom. You are so much better
off up there than we are down
here trying to endure life's hard
ships. You had your share of
them and God said it was enough.
We cannot understand why you
had to leave us at the time we
needed you most. How we miss
you.
We miss you so much. I can
look at your picture and read that
sweet smile on your face. I seem
to hear your picture tell me what
to do when I am in trouble. You
look me in the eye and say,
“Rheba, that's not best for you,”
when I am going wrong in any
way.
Your faltering weary footsteps
are still around the old home-
place.. Ican’t go back there with
out stepping in one of your tracks.
You still seem to be at your same
place around the old family table.
No one will ever fill that chair.
It is still empty.
I am thankful that Jesus lets
you visit me in my dreams at
night. Oh, we do have sweet times
together. But lo! Just before 1
awake, you vanish. If you could
only be there when I open my
eyes, so I could clasp you to my
bosom and hold you.
Although we are broken up down
here, we are striving to get our
mansions ready up there with
you. I can hear you sing another
sweet tune. Until then, good-bye,
dear Grandma.
Your heart-broken grand daughter,
Rheba.
