Tony: We don't disagree. I probably erred on the side of caution in my wording. FWIW, this is what Wiki has to say: "The first corrugated cardboard box manufactured in the USA was in 1895.[16] By the early 1900s, wooden crates and boxes were being replaced by corrugated paper shipping cartons." Absent data, I too would guess that wooden containers dominated the market through the twenties at a minimum. Dave Parker Riverside, CA |
