The Jo-Jo Brand label stands out for its pair of dice, an unusual choice among apple crate labels, which usually leaned on orchards, landscapes, or fruit itself. Crate labels like this were lithographed in bright color and pasted onto wooden shipping crates so that a brand could catch a buyer's eye at a market stand or a grocer's counter. Dice were a playful image that suggested luck and chance, a theme that fit the gamble of growing and selling a harvest. Labels such as this one now serve as a record of how fruit was marketed in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century.
