Figure 164.    Poster:  A Cotton Sack and Burlap Sheets

A photo from an unidentified farm shows how a cotton sack was made with the shoulder strap attached so that one side of the sack falls open for ease in putting the cotton into the sack.  Three burlap cotton sheets were spread on the ground for emptying the sacks.  (Photo 5065-48 courtesy of South Carolina Library.  Poster by Amelia Vernon, about 2001.)
