| Commentaires : | This dental box was manufactured by the S.S. White Company. Founded in 1844 by Samuel Stockton, the S.S. White Company started as a tooth factory in Philadelphia with a work force of only three. Located in the upstairs of a home, Samuel practiced dentistry downstairs. Samuel Stockton White's tooth factory became, over the decades, the largest dental manufacturing company in the world- with sales offices in New York, Boston and Chicago; and catalogues in Spanish, French and German. |
