This 1960s 15"x35" cloth flour sack is in very good condition, especially for age.
The front reads: "Bread Flour Enriched, Bleached (Fortified with Calcium), Clasped Hands Logo, Donated by the People of the United States of America, Not to Be Sold or Exchanged, Net Weight 100 Pounds." The back: "Alliance for Progress, Flour, Offered by the People of the United States of America, No Sale or Exchange" in 14 languages.
Originally used for 100lbs of bread flour, it was later altered by Brownville Mills as a 50lb Turbinado Sugar sack. Inside, blue ink stamps read "50lbs Net" "Brownville Mills" and "Brownville, Nebr," alongside red/pink "Turbinado Raw Sugar" markings.
Key details:
The Clasped Hands logo, designed in 1953 by Elanor Gault, represented US foreign aid programs until the 1990s.
Alliance for Progress, launched in 1961 by JFK, promoted Latin American economic development.
Brownville Mills, established in 1953, remains operational.
Fabric sacks shifted to paper/plastic in the 1960s.
