Feedsacks and
floursacks are the cotton bag
of heavy canvas that were used to obtain flour, sugar, meal, grain, salt and
feed from the mills that. was a great source of utilitarian fabric to be used for
dish cloths, diapers, nightgowns and other household uses.
Manufacturers intentioned
to take advantage of the
thrifty farm wife started offering sacks
in various prints and solid colors as a marketing ploy to create
loyalty.followed by Magazines and pattern companies that published patterns to take advantage of the feedsack prints.
Matching fabric and even matching wrapping paper was available, too.
Feedsacks were used to make
clothes ,
toys ,
underwear ,
pillowcases ,
diapers ,
laundry bags ,
curtains ,
table cloths ,towels, dish cloths,
After WWII, technological innovations provided more sanitary and effective
packaging made of heavy paper and plastic containers.and the cloth bag fell out of use. But not entirely! Some Amish and
Mennonite communities demand, and receive, their goods in feedsacks.
