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.

Below: The back and
sides are blank; only the top and bottom flaps have text (below).

Below: 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).
