content: The trademark materials, 1964-1970, include some Food and Drug Administration (FDA) materials and specific trademark information for Chick'n-2-Go, Ma and Pa's Country Candy Store, McDonald's, and Neatrae Containers. The FDA information includes printed material such as Facts for Consumers, Food Standards, 1964; How the FDA Works for You, 1966; Read the Label on Food, Drugs, Devices, Cosmetics and Household Chemicals, 1965.

The trademark documentation is arranged alphabetically by company name and contains memos, correspondence, trademark search reports, and the published trademark if issued. In some instances there is evidence of foreign trademark materials, especially for the NEATRAE. The Neatrae Container Association documentation consists of licensing patent applications, trademark assignments, and other correspondence detailing a partnership between Daniel Greenwood, Elgin Milk Corporation, Bernie Wood, and Dan Conelly for trademark use of "NEATRAE." NEATRAE was trademarked to be used in conjunction with a finger-grip food container (US Patent No., 3,355,082) that Wood patented.
