Kellogg's Soybean Oil Meal Sack Apron Fits Sizes L - XL - 1X

A very unusual logo is the feature of the vintage Kellogg's Soybean Oil Meal sack used for this apron.

The logo and words are in red and blue. The logo features the words "The Test Tells" and "1894 Trade Mark." The words Kellogg's Soybean Oil Meal are above and below the logo. The sides read 41 % Protein and 100 Lbs. Net Wgt.

Below these words are a red rectangle with the words "Keep Ahead With Kellogg."

This apron proved difficult in designing. The logo was close to the top of the sack, so a piece of red and blue floral flour sack fabric was added to the top so the apron shape could be created. Some of the same fabric was used in small patches both to cover darker spots and to add decoration on the bottom and sides. The apron is trimmed red. To adjust the length, simply place a knot in the neck tie where desired. Cold water wash and line dry are recommended to prevent fading and shrinking.

The apron does have a few issues, including general stains as are typical of this age of sack, as well as some darker spots here and there. There is a larger darker spot above the logo on the bodice, and some on the middle side (see photos). There are no patches and no holes, however. Please consider all of these factors before purchase.

The bodice width is 13 inches.
The waist is 34 inches.
The length is 42 inches from the top bodice center to the hemline. This apron is extra long.
The waist ties are each 29 inches.
This apron best fits women's sizes large, extra large or 1X.

From the Western New York Heritage website:
The Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc. company, was incorporated in 1912 with its headquarters in Buffalo. In 1940, the company operated four flaxseed crushing plants, four soybean crushing plants, one copra crushing plant in Manila, one castorbean crushing plant and one tung oil rectifying and refining plant in Hankow, China.

* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically. Also, finding some or many seeds or feed pieces caught in the fabric is quite common. The bags have been washed at least once and many seed/feed pieces have already been removed, but some may remain.
