Advertising for the company that ordered them from Remington, probably a giveaway knife. I don`t know if the company name was Axton or if it was a line of product they sold.
You see these Remington knives with Endicott Johnson Shoe advertising among other old companies of the day.

Axton was short for AXTON-FISHER TOBACCO Co. I've saw mint condition Remington Axton's sell for over $400.
