Miniature Aprons Used to Collect Money for Charity, Nov. 6, 1920

Around 50 aprons were returned yesterday at the meeting of the Community Club at the north school building. The miniature aprons had been sent to different members of the club, asking them to return the aprons, placing in the pockets the number of pennies as their waist measured in inches. A number of ladies returned three and four times their measure and as a result a neat sum was netted. The proceeds will go for charity. Those who have not yet returned their aprons are asked to send them in at once to Mrs. Carrie Gamble. Later these aprons will be put on sale and the kiddies will have some very pretty aprons for their dollies. (From the front page of the Hickory Daily Record, November 6, 1920)
