All pages depict the box with the serrated metal cutting edge. Waxed paper itself was not new, but packaging it in a carton with the cutting edge was new. Inside text for 20 uses of Cut-Rite.
The company name, R.B.D. Sales Co., is seen on all four pages; location is stated on page [4]. This company was R.B. Davis Sales Co. which was the distribution arm for R.B. Davis Company of Hoboken. Davis OK Baking Powder and Cocomalt were its primary products. The waxed paper was manufactured by another Hoboken company, Automatic Paper Machinery Co. (which was founded by the inventor of the packaging.) It was at Harrison and Ferry [now Observer Highway] Streets near the Davis factory.
