Buy lace, save Belgians stuck behind a World War I blockade? That's exactly what happened.
When the German army invaded neutral Belgium in 1914, the British blockaded Belgium's harbors to cut off German supply lines. This problem? Belgium depended on imports for 80% of its food.
Herbert Hoover negotiated food deliveries, then worked on an agreement allowing the importation of thread and the exportation of lace made with the thread. This effort helped thousands of Belgian lace makers earn money for food for their families. Throughout the Allied countries, people bought generously of these "war laces" to help support the Belgians.

This lace tablecloth made in Belgium includes the coats-of-arms of the Allies: The center insets feature the coats-of-arms of the Allies: Romania, Belgium, Montenegro, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom, Serbia, Italy, France, and Portugal.
