Custom floorcloth by AKM Drygoods

As part of an exchange of goods between Andrew 'Abner' Martin and myself I was offered a custom floor cloth from the AKM Drygoods line. I designed one and sent a .jpg with dimensions to Andrew and the photos don't do justice to what I received. Andrew's wife Kirsten did an outstanding job on the complex layout and since it was to be used in a home and not in the field, used a higher quality treated canvas. I couldn't be happier.

If you are needing an oilcloth or floorcloth look no further than AKM Drygoods.

[HOUSTON] TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, October 28, 1863,

Wanted.

All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

Extend both heart and hand
And welcome her a sister
Of our Confederate band
Tho surrounded by oppression
No one dare deter
Her adding to our Bonnie Blue Flag
Her bright and twelfth star! "
