Miss Betty Suttle of Shelby
Miss Betty Suttle, the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius A. Suttle is ;shown here in her cotton dress, made from the fleecy staple on which the South largely depends. At the Cotton Ball this pretty girl and her homemade cotton dress won first prize and she was crowned “Queen” The purpose of the ball was to prove that pretty dresses can be made of cotton materials and the fact was proven to the hundreds who looked on the ball at Cleveland Springs Hotel.
From the front page of The Cleveland Star, Shelby, N.C., Friday, July 30, 1926
