in boxes-
For years a tin has been considered the only packing which would protect chocolates under tropical conditions.
Now, Nestle's have introduced a sealed hygienic pack-pleasing to the eye, easy to open, and one which preserves the superfino chocolates in as fresh condition as any tin. Do as you do at Home. Ask for a "Box" of Nestle's chocolates. Better still. ask for "Modern Fancy" and be sure of getting it.
