Sack, canvas, 20 lb

Plain canvas sack for grain, flour, or produce (20 lb).

A plain canvas sack, seamed up two sides and open at the top, tied with a cord. Sacks are the universal container of the countryside — grain to the mill, flour back, roots out of the field — and are counted, tallied, and stolen as a unit of measure in their own right. 20 pound capacity.
