It wasn't until 1906, with the Boye Needle Company established and based in Chicago, Ill. That James Boye's improvements gathered momentum with the Commodity Carrier or Commodity Cabinet. The Commodity Cabinet became circular, intended for holding various small items of merchandise, in other words the carrier or cabinet could be used for other merchandise such as hand sewing needles or other small parts. It would be set on a store counter from which to serve customers.

Boye needed to make sure that the general, hardware or furniture store owner, a non-sewing machine expert, could quickly find the right product for the customer. For this he devised a numbering system on top of the case which linked almost any sewing machine names to their proper needles, shuttles and bobbins, just by turning the arrow on the top.
