This lot consists of two wooden advertising crates from the early to mid-20th century. The smaller crate is a finger-jointed box from the National Food Company of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The front panel features green printed graphics for 7 lbs. of National Stock-Food, noting a registered label date of 1904. The side panel lists a wide array of agricultural and veterinary products manufactured by the company, including calf food, poultry food, hoof packing, heave powders, gold and amber liniments, and various medicinal cures for horses and livestock. The larger crate is a nailed-construction shipping box for Swift's Premium Roast Beef. It features red printed graphics including the brand logo and product name. This crate was used for international trade, evidenced by the Industria Argentina stamp and markings from the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganaderia). The side of the crate bears a black ink circular stamp indicating it was inspected and passed by the U.S. government at establishment number three.
