‘Mattress Bee' Fad in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. March 13 (U. P.).—The quilting bee, logrollings, and corn-huskings of a
half-century ago have given way |
to “mattress making” in rural
Arkansas. Several years ago the matrons of rural neighborhoods gathered around quilting frames to do their “visiting” and exchange the latest bit of chit-chat. Today the basic idea is the same; but instead of making quilts, the women are turning out mattresses, and, incidentally, helping to use up some of the South's cotton surplus. The mattress making projects
were launched by the Agricultural |
Extension Service and the Works Progress Administration with a double objective—to improve the quality of bedding in rural homes
