Description:
This is a combination address and instruction card for packing, mailing, and removing eggs from a shipping crate. The card was designed to be used twice, having the same printing on front and back, and was addressed in this way by Mrs. B.W. Jolliffe in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and L.W. Durst in Wellman, Iowa. The instructions recommend that the postage stamp card be placed in the specially-designed slot on the egg crate's lid. The Metal Products Company of Fredericksburg, Virginia, produced this label for its egg shipping containers.
