Among the many apple crate labels on this board, this one stands out for its "All American" name, a brand meant to tie the fruit to national pride rather than to a single orchard or valley. Crate labels like this were pasted onto wooden boxes in packing houses across the Pacific Northwest in the early 20th century, when rail shipments carried apples east to buyers who often chose fruit by its label alone. Bold lettering, bright color lithography, and patriotic names were common tools for standing out on a crowded grocer's shelf. Look closely at the layout and you can see how much of the design was meant to sell a box before anyone opened it.
