Description: In the 1920’s, companies realized women were creating home textiles from their bags. As good marketers, they came up with the idea to make the packages more appealing by using printed fabrics. They guessed they would sell more because a certain number of bags were needed to sew a dress or a bed covering. Housewives indeed bought more of the calico-type patterns and would even swap back and forth to get enough of the design they wanted. The companies also came up with patterns and projects women could make from their bags, increasing the desirability even more.Our client has been collecting these flour/feed sacks for years and is now selling them in order to downsizeThis feed sack tablecloth dates to the 1940's & WWII. In one corner there is a pic of a sailor, another corner shows the Statue of Liberty and an airplane and reads "Keep Em Flying".
