Jordan, Justice,
dissenting.
It is my opinion that the contract in the present case does not prohibit the appellant from being employed in any capacity by a competitor. She agreed that she would not "engage in the employment agency business ... in association in any capacity” with a competitor. (Emphasis supplied.) This means that she will not perform services directly connected with the employment agency business in any capacity, that is, as a partner, consultant, employee, etc. The contract, therefore, is not unreasonable as imposing greater limitations on the appellant than were necessary for the protection of the *269appellee. Coffee System of Atlanta v. Fox, 226 Ga. 593, 596 (176 SE2d 71) (1970).
I am authorized to state that Chief Justice Nichols joins in this dissent.
