Edith Vanderbilt Won't Chair Committee, June 24, 1923

Miss Vanderbilt Will Not Accept. . . Refuses Chairmanship of Committee to Compile Folder of Industrial Tour

Asheville, N.C., June 23—Mrs. Edith A. Vanderbilt has notified C.C. Armstrong of Gastonia, president of the Carolina Motor club, that she will be unable to accept the chairmanship of a committee from two states to compile a folder of an “historic and industrial tour of the Carolinas.”

Mrs. Vanderbilt states that she appreciates the honor, but due to the number of matters requiring her attention and the extensive plans being made for the state fair of which she is president, she does not feel that she can give the necessary attention to the work.

From the front page of the Durham Morning Herald, Sunday, June 24, 1923. Is it Miss Vanderbilt or Mrs. Vanderbilt?
