My mother would send me to go with my father when he went to buy the feed for the chickens, and I would choose the bags. I would get 3 or 4 the same so that there would be enough for a dress. Later the flour sack would also be in print and because we made a lot of tortillas my dad would buy 100lb sacks. About 10 years ago I donated about 25 sacks that I still had.
