This is a fantastic piece of vintage feed sack material! Let's take a look at what the markings tell us:
Type & Capacity: It's a 100 Lbs. Net feed sack, which was the standard size for agricultural feed, seed, and flour sacks during the mid-20th century.
Branding: The main graphic reads "BETTER FEEDS FOR BETTER RESULTS" inside an oval badge.
Manufacturer / Mill: At the bottom, you can make out "KRAUSE MILLING COMPANY" (based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as indicated by the text below it). Krause Milling was well-known for producing corn products, animal feeds, and flour.
Context for Reselling & Collecting
During the Great Depression and through the 1940s and 1950s, feed sacks were famously manufactured using colorful patterned or printed cotton fabrics because thrifty homemakers would repurpose them into clothing, curtains, dishtowels, and quilts (giving rise to the "feed sack fashion" era).
While plain cotton sacks with stenciled brand logos like this one were primarily functional agricultural packaging rather than decorative "print" feed sacks, they are still highly sought after by collectors of agricultural memorabilia, primitive decor, and farmhouse aesthetics. Crafters also love using authentic feed sack linen and cotton for rustic projects or period-accurate sewing.
Do you have any specific questions about cleaning it up or how to list it for your online shop?
