I recently acquired an old UMC .44-40 cartridge box (see attached photos). Can anyone help date it?

I know UMC started offering this cartridge shortly after Winchester came out with the Model 1873. But I suspect this one is newer because of the references to Marlin, Savage, Remington, and Stevens on the bottom.
