Bonnie writes: Below is a feed sack with a picture of 2 pigs (with curly tails, of course!) and the printing, "TAIL CURLER" at the top and bottom of sack, "100 LBS. NET" near the top, and in the center, "WAYNE TAIL CURLER (FOR EARLY PIG FEEDING)" and "ALLIED MILLS, INC. CHICAGO, ILL. TESTED FOR QUALITY I.Q. (INGREDIENT QUALITY) ALLIED MILLS RESEARCH DIVISION". It was indeed a feed for piglets and the coin was an advertising gimme for farmers.
