Some history.... The Consolidated Paper Box Company was organized in 1931 when four box manufacturing companies joined forces and set up a box making facility at 120 Central Street in Somerville, Mass. At the time, it was one of the largest plants of its kind in New England. In 1931, the country was in the heart of the Great Depression, and most people had very little money to spend on leisure activities. Wooden jigsaw puzzles were a favorite activity with homebound Americans, but these puzzles had to be cut by hand, a time-consuming and expensive process. Few could afford them. In the fall of 1932, at newsstands in Boston, a few miles away from Somerville, weekly die cut cardboard jigsaw puzzles were introduced. This started a huge demand for the weeklies and for all other kinds of inexpensive cardboard puzzles. The craze soon spread across the country and into Canada. For as little as a dime, people could take a puzzle home to their families for an evening's entertainment. In 1932, the Consolidated Paper Box Company began making boxes for Jig of the Week, one of the most popular of the weeklies. Responding to the strong demand for more and more puzzles, the company introduced its own brand, the Perfect Picture Puzzle, later that same year. Not long after, perhaps as early as 1934, Perfect Picture Puzzles included a picture of the puzzle subject on the outside of the box. Customers were delighted with this innovation, and soon Consolidated commanded an impressive share of the cardboard puzzle market. It wasn't until later in the 1930s that their major competitors, Tuco Workshops and Milton Bradley, followed suit and began providing box pictures.
