The exact company name slips my mind but I think it was something like Rocketflite. I'm fairly sure they were 38mm cardboard-cased too.

Small Sounding Rocket Systems (SSRS) - later renamed Crown Rocket Technologies created composite E, F, and G motors.
I've forgotten the gentleman's name, but I met the owner at NARAM 19 and ordered one of each.
I was surprised when I got them in the mail - they were packaged with the E and F on one side and the G on the other, wrapped in brown paper.
I still can't figure out how they got through the mail - they looked like two sticks of dynamite wrapped in brown paper.
By the way - I did fly a Mini-Max F55 in a "Little Hustler" back in about 1974 or 1975. It was an impressive flight - those motors really made a lot of noise and smoke
