I am not a paper towel


predating paper towels,
flour sack towels were made by frugal housewives
from the cotton sacks that held their pantry staples.

they were hardworking and humble,
with roots in the great depression.

flour companies started printing 
pretty patterns on their sacks to entice shoppers,
knowing they would end up as a dish towel in someone's home.
it became popular for housewives to save and trade 
flour sacks for their favorite designs.

use cloth not paper :)

our modern-day flour sack towels are large and strong,
and come in three's with a smiling tote.
