"I remember getting our flour in those flour sacks. We'd have about 25, I forget the amount, but anyway, it was a big sack of flour. And they would always put them in that print material, you know. And we'd want to get the certain kind of flour sack, whatever it was, because we were making those things into tea towels. And even, I could make my little girl dresses out of those things, or little bonnets, or something like that. 'Cause, Lord, 'cause we didn't have no money to spend or nothing."
