Yeagertown, Pennsylvania, 1910. J.M. Yeager Milling Company Whole Wheat Alfarata Flour Sack, J.M. Yeager, Yeagertown, Pennsylvania Circa 1910. 25 x 12/5 inches. Off-white cotton with red and blue pictorial imprint and recto and blue pictorial imprint on verso. Light soiling and previous folds. No drawstring. Likely new old stock. Very Good Condition. A striking example of early 20th century typography with beautiful block cut image of a scene from a setting similar to Yosemite with a native American woman with bow and canoe on recto. Verso shows a less dramatic yet pleasing design of Alfarata Wheat. Flour sacks had to be durable with a tightly woven fabric for effective use, which made them popular, especially during the depression to be re-purposed as dresses, hand towels or tablecloths.
