    A person's interest in hoarding oak, is directly aligned with said person's avaliable firewood storage space.

    A young girl drinks water from a dipper in her family's home near Marshall, Texas, in 1939. I’m guessing with certainty that her dress was made from a cotton flour sack. The fraying is typically a cotton bag issue after being washed out. Times were hard during the Great Depression and people of that era learned to be just as hard. That little girl could possibly be in her 90's today.

    I read about a flour company that started using fabric looking cloth when they heard people were using the sacks for clothing. God Bless. I couldn't imagine.

    I remember my mother making dresses and shirts and other things from flour sacks.
