I found a an old wooden box that had been in my grandfather’s garage and it had this company’s name and Chicago, ILL on it. Found your site when I went to try to figure out where it came from. It was addressed to Florida Citrus Cannery in Lake Wales, Florida. As the story goes, he made this box from left over shipping crate wood so my grand mother could stand on it. She was pretty tiny. 🙂
