FWIW, When I was a child in the early 1950's, there was a small box factory near where I lived in Winnipeg. It was mostly a big barn like building with a small office in one corner. It was mostly women that worked there, not a lot, maybe 4 or 5. The main part of the building was unheated, even in the winter at 30 or 40 below. In those days a lot of homes and small businesses were heated with wood or coal stove(s) or furnace(s) and I assume that the owner was afraid of a fire in the building. With all the sawdust and wood dust it wouldn't have taken much to start a fire. They used a lot of used boxes and crates that were dis-assembled to get the wood for new boxes.
