Well after the depression, into the 1950's, my dad bought feed for the animals he raised to feed our family. When the feed delivery truck came we girls rushed to be the first to choose which sacks were left, as we knew we'd be wearing that material to school. Some of that stuff gave ugly a bad name, but some of it was pretty. We wanted to have a say in which ones were delivered or he would leave the ugliest ones. He always left the ugly ones at the houses where no one was there to pick and choose.
