Thirsty Farmer Drinks from Canvas Bag in 1939
On a hot summer morning on a farm near Ralls Texas in 1939, a farmer
pauses for a cold drink of water from a canvas bag. Water drawn from the
windmill in the background will seep through the bag all day and keep
the contents cool by evaporation. Hung from tractor fenders, car hood
ornaments and side view mirrors, military vehicles or from a cowboy's
saddle horn, these leaky canvas bags were very popular throughout the
desert southwest from the early 1900's to late 1960's.
