Or, it could mean that the flour producers started using different fabrics as a way of differentiating their flour so they could attract market share (and the benevolent aspect was part of the marketing pitch). Once one company did it, the rest would have probably had to follow suit in order to defend their market share.
Back then? Maybe it contained a tad more of the aspect that those companies were trying to do something nice. Today? I think it would be 0% about doing something nice and 100% about the profit motive.
