DescriptionThis rectangular cardboard box contains one hundred Dennison’s adhesive labels, model number 209. The box is light brown with black printed text and a red and white label design on the top, which reads: “100 / Dennison’s / 209.” The sides of the box are printed with the text “Dennison’s Labels: Very Adhesive, Neat, Uniform and Attractive.” Inside, the box contains numerous labels, each featuring a red border and blank space in the center, with a layer of protective wax paper between them to preserve their adhesive properties. Dennison’s labels were widely used in offices, schools, and homes during the mid-20th century, valued for their versatility and reliable adhesion.On View
