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.
