The Story of the
KlearflaX Rug

On the great plains of the Northwest, 100000
acres are broken for flax alone each spring.
About the first of August, the flax plant bursts
out into the bloom of it's pale blue flowers.
Flax grows successfully on freshly turned prai-
RE sod, and in regions where moderately cool,
damp weather prevails during the summer,
without sudden changes or unusual climatic
conditions to prevent the growth of uniformly
even fax American flax has been found by ac
tual test to compare favorably with that pro-
duced before the war in the famous Courtai
region of Belgium, which means that this flax
is as good as that used in the best of Irish lace,
for Courtai ships most of it's crop to Ireland
Flax reaches its maturity about so days after
the planting, and the harvesting is done on
scale no less inspiring than is the planting
The average yield is about two tons to the acre.
/, and Americas annual production is 100000
tons.
The harvested flax is sorted with special care
baled and sent by the growers to the Klearhax
Mills at Duluth. Here the bales are opened up
and resorted' and only the Al quality is used
Flax alone is used in the manufacture of these
Rugs.

by all the trustees before it is sub
