Scope and content
O'Connell, Ragan and Richardson, an advertising and public relations firm in Tacoma, ordered a photographic copy of the original certificate awarded to Wood Coffee Company for their entry in the Spice Mill Packaging Show held at The Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago September 8, 9, 10, 11th, 1946. Wood Coffee Company was awarded first prize at the national packaging show based on the smartness of design and the prestige created from a new merchandising angle of the new package. The bag was designed to retain the aroma and flavor of the coffee and keep it at roaster freshness through a Lanofilm lining, Thermoseal closure, and Loktite bottom. The company was also known as Wood's Coffee Company.(T.Times, 9/19/1946, p.10)
