Description (Brief):

This shipping crate side contained Old Dutch Cleanser that was originally produced by the Cudahy Packing Company of California during the first half of the 20th century. The Old Dutch brand had a memorable logo of a Dutch maid chasing away dirt with a stick, and the crate bears the logo “makes everything spick and span.”
