The burlap bag is not dated but it is believed to be from between the 1930s and the 1950s. These bags were used years ago when the popcorn was grown for the Cracker Jack Company in Odebolt and Arthur, Iowa. The harvested pop corn was transported in trains by rail to Chicago, Illinois where it was popped and made into Cracker Jack. The sack is lined with a waterproofed paper like material. The bag is imprinted in black as follows: SELECT POPPING CORN 100 LBS. YELLOW HYBRID THE CRACKER JACK CO. CHICAGO, ILL. - ODEBOLT, IA. BEMIS WATERPROOF BAGS ST. LOUIS REG. U.S. PAT. OFF.
