Artifact Overview
Before products like coffee, tea, and spices were individually packaged with company labels and logos grocers dispensed them from metal bins and canisters. These large tin containers were not only a convenient storage place that kept products dry, but their colorful painted, printed, and stenciled decorations provided an attractive display on the store's shelves and counters.
