This week we received a lovely letter from a woman who read the article on our website titled, “Collectible Feedsack Cloth.” Here is what she said:

I read with interest your article about feedsacks and Richard K. Peek, Percy Kent Bag Company. I was Executive Secretary to Mr. Peek during the years 1956 or 1957 to 1960. During this time we introduced these feedsacks in many forms. The one I remember most was the ruffled pillowcase. I took my sewing machine into Mr. Peek’s office with the ruffler to make samples for these bags. The sewing machines were purchased to make these. Oh those years! If only I would have realized how prized these bags were. It was also during this time I helped design the paper flour bags with
pictures of baked goods.
What a pleasure to read your article!

I wrote to Ms. Wukelic to ask if she might reveal her age. She is 76 years young, at the present time. This letter was a bright spot in my day!
