About this product

Product Information

Printed cotton sacks are currently fashionable aspects for material culture research, particularly in the costume and quilt history communities. Beginning in the late nineteenth century through the 1960s, these mass-produced sacks were relied upon by rural America as a valuable source of free fabric for clothing, quilts, and home décor. White cotton sacks were ubiquitous beginning in the last half of the nineteenth century; sacks printed with designs would come onto the market in 1937. Large households and farms required significant quantities of flour, sugar, and other staples, as well as animal feed, particularly chicken feed, all of which began to be packaged in cotton sacks at the beginning of the twentieth century. Companies such as the Imperial Sugar Company of Sugarland, Texas, and the Robert Nicholson Seed Company of Dallas, Texas, switched from jute and burlap bags to cotton in order to help ease the cotton slump that hit farmers throughout the South in the early 1920s. As the use of cotton sacks increased, whether the sacks were used to package human consumables or animal feed, these fabrics became colloquially known as "feed sacks." In 2015, more than 5600 printed cotton sack pieces came into the holdings of the Museum of Texas Tech University in the Pat L. Nickols Cotton Sack Research Collection. The Nickols Collection includes white sacks, printed partial and whole cotton sacks, swatches of printed sacks, instructional booklets, garments, quilts, quilt tops, and decorated white sacks. Combined with earlier and subsequent individual donations, the almost 6000 feed sack pieces held by the Museum of TTU make this the largest collection of feed sack materials to be assembled by an American museum, and likely the largest such collection in public hands. The Nickols Collection was brought to the museum in support of research, thus this publication serves to both showcase the breadth of the Pat L. Nickols Printed Cotton Sack Research Collection and also serve as a comprehensive visual archive for these important artifacts of rural American material culture.

History re feed sacks and their re-use
Photos are color, but looked faded/non-saturated. Still they had to raise money to include plenty. Liked the content just fine.
