The Wix menstrual tampon, probably mid-1930s-1940s, U.S.A.

The embossed Wix box held three packs of three
tampons each (below) wrapped in a transparent
material.

A woman in the Chicago area kindly donated the Wix box and many other
items, like fax;
her father sold Kotex products as a representative of the company.
