Wix menstrual tampon
Store instructions
Clerks, just as with Tampax, were trained to
explain to customers the workings of tampons
(see similar Tampax
charts). The Tampax company bought Wix in
the 1930s.
A woman in the Chicago area kindly donated
this chart and many other items, like fax;
her father sold Kotex products as a
representative of the company.
