I remember the feed and flour sacs well. As you got bigger, it took more to make a dress so you had to hope you could get them before the pattern changed. My grandmother lived in a small rural town and had chickens in the yard and we lived in a city. She would bring them to me. The feed sacs had a large loose weave and the flour sacs were almost like cotton today to hold the flour in. A flour sac was quite a bit smaller so we usually made things from them that were smaller than dresses. I remember my first piece of bubble gum too. There wasn't any until WWII was over. A neighborhood man took all the kids across town to where it was rumored there was bubble gum. We were each allowed two pieces. I don't even think I want to remember how long we chewed and saved that gum = yuk!
