1 war Nettie Ector, of Meriwether
Fount y and I have the rather unique
:incti«»n of being the ‘irst girl who
, r wove the college uniform. That
the circumstances as distinctly as;
were yesterday.
I .• ! been at school at Agnis Scott |
,,,i -jn Decatur but when the Hon. j
W \. Atkinson, oui representative, |
uni a close personal friend of my
iit■ 1 r, introduced a bill in the Leg-
, .-are providing for the Georgia
; -toal and Industrial College, as it
. then called, my futher said at
<•ace that I must go.
,\i riwether county offered a schol
ar-hip to the girl making the highest
average at an examination given by
the county school superintendent in
Greensville. Together with some sev-
« n or eight girls I took thut examina
tion, and I shall never forget with
what fear and trembling I started,
l.uck was with me, and I got the
much-coveted scholarship.
We sent foi a catalog which e ho wed
the course of study and I found that
they had a business department which
was what I wanted. The catalog
described the uniform, telling that
the goods and pattern could be
bought in Milledgeville at the '
of a certain Mr. E. E. Bell. So my
mother ordered the material and
made the dress for me. Looking back
at it with my mind’s eye, it si
to have been a rather curious look
ing outfit, but I thought at the time
it was beautiful. There was i* brown
woolen blouse, same as skirt, trim
med with bright gold braid up and
down and everywhere, and that was
the hottest thing I had ever worn.
We came here on a scorching day
in September and 1 nearly roasted.
Soon after we arrived it was whis
pered through the Man?ion that one
»f the Milledgeville boys had said
thut we looked like a crowd of cotton
picker.-, which was probably true. Fo
one of my roommates composed a
little song with a very lively air.
Herr is the first verse:
We arc ail from the dear old stnte
of Georgia
The north, cast, south and
west.
And of all the cotton pickers in the
Union,
The G. N. I. C are the best.
I came over, from Macon wil
about twenty other homesick girls <
the original Beauty Special. Dr.
Chappcl. the first president of the
college, told me afterwards that he
had been very anxious to see that
brown uniform in action, so to speak,
and that I looked mighty good
him. Most of the girls were dn*ssed
■' all the colors of the rainbow, and
1 must confess that they looked bet-
after getting into tne uniform.
The Mansion was the only dormi-
1 in the beginning and there i
‘ i.f us in one of the large rooms,
four bed* to a room. As well i
remem'., v there were only sixty
boarding students, with one matron,
Mrs. Hat. Glenn, and one housekeep
er, Miss l.izrie Nanier. In spite of
these two jailors 1 managed to have
worlds of fun and incidentally sev
eral demerits.
The rules were not very strict in
M.ese good old day?, however. Dr
1 happel would pick out the boys and I
en from town who were considered!
very best, and once a month he
v J ld suspend the rules and invite
'!■ -e fortunate youths up to our
Uai-y in the main building. He would
let us dance except a sort of]
an • ■• called “Dance to Pat". This
good enough for us. All we
u, t*od was to see the boys.
A nother thing which I knov. is
* • : to believe. That dear and saint-
first president would let us re-
' «• candy from men under one
fl • dition. one of these was that we
^ >■ the matron port of the candy.
1 have a sad remembrance- of how
1 ,J ch I wasted on that same matron.

N ’EVER was such motor car quality offered at prices
so sensationally low. The literally startling differ
ence becomes at once apparent when you contrast the
prices of the new and finer Nash series, with prices of
corresponding models a year ago.
Its low non-productive overhead, its elimination of
borrowed capital, and remarkably foresighted manufac
turing alone enable Nash to offer so much for so little.
The unique example in
value-giving thus provided
SENSATIONALLY PRICED !
the industry was planned last November. At that time,
C. W. Nash and the strong group of executives surround
ing him, dearly foresaw present conditions. They at once
began to design cars affording value so great, so unmis
takable, as to overcome all buying reluctance..
The result is instantly apparent. Even casual inspection
of the four new Nash cars establishes the fact that nothing
even remotely a tA •caching them in downright dollar value
has ever been available in
their respective price fields.
STUDY THESE SENSATIONAL PRICES!
Compare the New Twin-Ignition Eight-80 Skriet with the 6-cylinder car it
replaces. The Eight-90 is larger, longer. Design, appointments, upholstery
are finer—prices are radically lower.
Compare what is probably the met/ remarkable achievement cj Nash in
greater value-giving—the New Six—with the Single Six it succeeds. The
new Six offers a multitude of superiorities—at prices which range from
$160 to $140 below the prices of the Single Six.

Compare the New Twin-Ignition Eight-90 Series, now with a 11} H. P.
Engine, with the last year's 100 H. P. Eight. Body appointments are finer,
upholstery more luxurious, and prices are fur lower!
Compare the New Eight-70 with its two additional cylinders, its longer
wheelbase, its larger, more luxurious body, with the six-cylinder car it
replaces. Then consider the remarkable fact that there is actually a basic
price differential inf mine of the New Eight!
