Object/Artifact
Shipping box for Davis OK Baking Powder, R.B. Davis Company, Hoboken, N.J., no date, circa 1910-1925. Wood, fiberboard, metal nails and printed paper label; 16" wide x 9-1/4" high x 7-3/4" deep. One end opened; original contents were 36 one-half pound containers of baking powder.
Closed end has a multi-colored printed label identifying the product and contents for this container. It also states: Factory, Jackson, Ferry and Harrison Sts., Hoboken, N.J.
Long side 2 shows the imprinted "Certificate of Box Maker" which would definitely date this as after 1904 (required for railroad freight classification) and likely circa 1910-1915 from the graphic style of the end label.
