Fibs menstrual tampon, Kotex, U.S.A.
Counter display,
1930s-1940s?
Below:
Front
of the box holding the display
(the box is slightly larger than
the display). Funny that the text
mentions the 3 Fibs boxes but not
the display holding them, which it
pictures. "Sponsored
by the makers of Kotex"
is an odd way of expressing -
something.

The back
and sides are blank; only
the top and bottom flaps have text

The top
flap of the box.
I found no folder in the
box. The tampon itself
waned out (so to speak)
because it was too big
according to "Shared
Values: A History of
Kimberly-Clark" by Robert
Spector (1997).
