Potholder


Title
Potholder
Description
Potholders are a useful item in any kitchen, but to the farm family, they are especially useful. Many farm families in the first half of the 20th century cooked all of their meals from scratch. All of this cooking meant many hours in the kitchen over a hot stove and in an even hotter oven. Potholders were often given out by tobacco warehouses to farm families, not only because they were a much used item, but because it was another way to get the name of a warehouse out into public view. Warehouse names and logos were often imprinted on one side of a holder for marketing purposes. This potholder came from New Growers Warehouse, Linville Road, Winston-Salem, N.C. Date approximated.
