I was born in 1946 just over the Barry/Lawrence County line. It was a real treat to get to go to the Farmer's exchange to buy chicken feed. Back in the back of the feed store was a pile of sacks of feed. I would get to pick out the one that I liked the best for my next dress. Never thought any about it. Everyone was doing it.

Yeah, and the thing about wearing clothes made from any kind of feed or flour sacks when you wore your dress or skirt or shirt to school or church you saw others wearing the same design of sack as you. That is what I hated.
