  CIDA (Compagnie International d’Alimantation) existed from 1907 to 1913. It was a Belgian company. Source: lemondedeschocolateriesbelges.skynetblogs.be/tag/1/CIDA

• The Library of Congress said:

  Michiel2005: Thank you for the identification of this company! We will update the descriptive data and reload it to Flickr.

  What beautiful packaging.

• br@mbly said:

  LOC: the text on the wrapping is French, so it wasn't likely to be German chocolate. Incidentally, and rather sadly, it is doubtful if a chocolate called CIDA would sell in the French-speaking world today. It sounds too much like SIDA, which is French for AIDS.

  Interesting typography.
