Years ago before flour, sugar, grain and other "feeds" for farm animals were packaged in paper, they were packaged in fabric bags. During those days you could pick bags that matched and the farmwives, etc would "recycle" the bags into quilts, shirts, and other clothing items, Tea towels aprons, etc.
Some had company logos on them, but others were just pleasant prints or solids.
