I've got boxes. I've got my sample of the brassiere. Years ago, a decorator who decided to hang it on the wall in the powder room starched it, so it stands out. It's really gorgeous. I'll start this way. I got married in 1964. I went to work at Lovable then. I worked in what was called the sample department. It was where they designed the brassieres and fit the brassieres. The standard size bra was 34B. There was one woman in the factory who was a perfect 34B. They would fit the bras on her. When it fit her perfectly, they then used that to go up or down to make all the other sizes. I was a flunky in that department. If I had stayed at Lovable . . . I worked there three years until I had Adam. I think I went the week I had Adam when I was 23 . . . I would have probably still been a flunky in the sample department. They never appreciated to the degree, even though it was a women-owned business, women-focused business, they never really appreciated women that much, as far as family members. Lovable was started by my grandfather, Frank Garson. He was a pattern maker in New York when he first came to America. He worked in the garment industry. He helped organize the sweatshops in New York. He worked, I don't know, I think it was women's dresses, is what I remember. It could have been house dresses. Because women, a lot of times, they were in the house. They were in New York. He had just had a baby, his first child, Arthur Garson. They moved. He saw an ad for a job in Atlanta, and they paid for him to take a train to Atlanta. He took a train to Atlanta, interviewed for the job, took the job. This is around 1915. Then he decided that he would move to Atlanta. Mama Gussie, Pawpaw, and Uncle Arthur moved to Atlanta. They lived on top of someone else's house. It was either a boarding house or lived upstairs on top of someone's house, and I don't know if it was the Krinsky’s, but it was someone that I've heard the name of over the years. He worked for this other company. I didn't realize, I'm a graphic designer, I didn't realize until recently that a pattern maker was a designer. That's how they did it. They didn't call them designers. They made the patterns and they designed the clothes as they made the pattern. I never connected myself to my grandfather or my creativity to my grandfather until just recently.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562#t=937.0,1147.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562/transcript/92312/annotation/33","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eVAN GELDER:\u003c/strong\u003e Interesting.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562#t=1147.0,1148.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562/transcript/92312/annotation/34","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHOWARD:\u003c/strong\u003e Yes, and Mother was very creative, but differently than I am and differently than that. I believe the first business they went into was women's sanitary garments. I think that was the first thing. They had just come on the market, something to do, and they hired people to go door to door. The people they hired door to doors said they needed more products to sell. Then my grandfather, brassieres, I think, had just been invented. He started making brassieres. He worked his day job making, I think they were dresses, I don't think they were aprons, I think they were just house dresses for women. He would go at night and cut the brassieres out. When people came to the factory in the morning to work, there was things cut out for them to sew together to make the brassieres. My grandmother was in charge of it. She was in-charge of all the sewing and all the stripping and all of the everything. There's a picture of her standing next to a potbelly stove in their factory. That was before my grandfather was there full-time. I think once it grew, it grew. At the point I was there, working there in 1964, there were 1,600 employees working on Piedmont Road. It was the largest brassiere manufacturing company in the world with factories all over the world at that point. They licensed the name to different areas and they provided expertise. Mother and Dad would take trips around the world to visit all the different factories. Dad would work with them on different things they were having trouble with. Then my uncle would do this, go around the word. Then my uncle in New York would go around in the world. It was traumatic as a child to have your parents gone for two months. They had a very interesting life. There was one in South Africa, one in Australia. It was in Holland, it was in England, it was in Italy.

Paces Papers is now almost 52 years old. I created it out of my head. It was a dream. I started it through being president of Brandeis Women's Committee. Being president of an organization, you're forced to do printing, to do the announcements for the different events. I didn't know what I was doing. I had just finished working at Lovable. I had just finished having my second child. I was 26. Who was it? Betty Ann Jacobson and Phyllis Freedman came to me. Miles was a baby, and [they] said they wanted me to be president. At that point, every person who had been president of the organization in Atlanta was Mother's age. No one young had ever been president. I didn't know how to do anything. I had only done decorations and run the Arts Festival. Brandeis put on an Arts Festival at the Standard Club every year when it was out in Brookhaven. I decided I would take it. That if that was my chance to do something, and I took it really, really seriously. [We] won national awards for what we did and started the book sale here. We sponsored Rudolf Nureyev coming to Atlanta, sponsored an art gallery coming down from Boston [Massachusetts], all sorts of interesting things, and loved it. But still I had to do invitations and announcements. I walked into Sam Flax Art Supply Store one day. I had never been in an art supply store. I didn't even know what an art supplies store was. A young man took pity on me and showed me; I call it press down type. It was something that used to exist. You'd have a whole sheet of letters on a plastic or a film backing. You'd put it on a piece of paper or cardboard and you'd rub it off. The letter would come off and stay on the cardboard. I didn't know there was anything other than press down type. I never knew of anything. I went there almost every week, and he'd teach me something else. I'd buy more things. I would do this at home. This was after I had been president of Brandeis. I even used to typeset things as big as this [memoirist holds up a clipboard] with press down type, one letter at a time. I never knew typesetting existed. I was just doing it myself. I didn't know. The first thing I ever did, I went that day to Sam Flax. I bought paper. I bought the “press down type in two sizes, I think. I made a personal card, I called it, or an “I am” card for Billie Feinman Greenberg. That was my first thing I ever did. I made her a birthday present. I took it to Minuteman Press and got it printed for her and gave it to her for her birthday. That was the very first thing I ever had printed in my life, was something I had created. Brandeis had an Arts Festival about a year later. I did a display of my work and people hired me as a result of that. I then had a business. When I finished it, I went to Atlanta Area Tech to go to school to learn graphic design. I was nursing, still nursing, my third child then. I went, drove downtown, drove . . . no, it's University Avenue near the airport every day at eight o'clock in the morning. I'm never on time. I was there and loved it and stayed a lot of times to the evening class to work. I won a logo contest for ADAC [Atlanta Decorative Arts Center] and I redid ADAC's logo. That's Atlanta Decorative Arts Center. Mother and Dad had a showroom there and that's how I knew about the contest. After I won the logo contest, the head of ADAC wanted me to do their national advertising. I didn't know anything. I needed to have a business to be able to do ad insertions. All of a sudden, I had to come up with the name of the business. I had come up the logo for myself. I had to come up with stationery for myself. The teacher at school worked as an art director and I would design and he would tell me what I needed do, to do the things. By the time I finished school, I had a whole business going in my basement at home on Swathmore. I hired a fellow student to come work for me, by the time I left school. Then I worked at home for about 10 to 12 years, no 12 or 13 years in the basement. Opened a retail store in Buckhead and changed the name. It was Jackie Slutzky Designs, Inc. at Home. Changed the name to Paces Papers, Inc., by Jackie. I have a retail store in Buckhead. It's had two locations. I didn't know running a retail store was going to be as hard as it was. I like being a designer more. When you're working in retail, you help anybody who comes in. You've got to be willing to help whoever comes in and I always kept it open to the public. I never kept it by appointment only. It's still open to public. It's been very successful. I've survived lots of competition coming and going.

I got into Leadership Atlanta in 1984, maybe 1983. I think I've got my dates right. Leadership Atlanta is an organization of small groups of people. They try to teach about the needs of the city in the metropolitan area. One of the segments they did for over a month was teaching about the needs of the homeless. I knew nothing about the needs of the homeless and what was going on. We went to soup kitchens, we went to shelters, and everything. I was shocked that so much was being done by churches. Not as much by government, but mainly by churches. We went away, I believe it was Christmas, with Mother and Dad to a state park. Mother and Dad had never been to a state park. Stanley liked to, my ex-husband Stanley Slutzky, liked to go fishing and liked to do things like that. We took Mother and Dad. I spent the whole Christmas vacation telling Mother and Dad what the needs of the homeless were and that the Jewish community needed to do something. It was a sin that we weren’t involved. Dad took it on. I called Rabbi [Alvin] Sugarman when I got home from being with Dad. I said to him, I asked him how would he feel about The Temple being involved in having a shelter or doing something for the homeless. I think it was just something for homeless, either a soup kitchen or something. I don't think I would have said necessarily what. Rabbi Sugarman had been in Leadership Atlanta about two years before me and he had been wanting to do something, which I didn't know. He was thrilled. Dad was the spearhead. It was my inspiration, but Dad was one who did it. It taught me, though, that being an inspiration can sometimes be as important as the person who does it. I wouldn't have known to do it. Dad wouldn't have known to do it if I hadn't inspired him. I couldn't have pulled it off. He was the only one who pulled it. He had that shelter open and running in ten days to two weeks with beds, showers, washing machines. He called on all of his friends who had businesses. He got them all to donate everything. They used the Sunday school classrooms. They switched it every week from the shelter to the Sunday school classrooms. I remember the story being that Dad and Rabbi Sugarman drove around that first night. It was a very, very cold, it was a January night. They decided to do a couples’ shelter. It was the only couples’ shelter in the country. They picked up people off the street. I went to what I think was the 40th anniversary last year for the shelter. This would be close, this would be 41 now, be 41 years. It's really come a long way. They help people learn to manage their money. They do a good with getting people permanent housing or apartments. They do a really, really good job. The new executive director, I think, is great. I'm very, very proud that that exists, it's kept going, and it keeps evolving. It was a real gift to the city. I'm still really, really proud of it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562#t=1761.0,2001.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/168554/file/306562/transcript/92312/annotation/41","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eVAN GELDER:\u003c/strong\u003e Thank you so much.
