Here the lettering carries the picture: "Teacher's Pet" is the brand name on a Washington apple crate label, a reminder that fruit growers in the early 1900s relied on eye-catching paper labels to sell their crops across the country. Washington's orchards, especially in the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys, grew into a major apple industry after irrigation and railroad access opened the land to commercial fruit. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright color lithography, often with a child, a schoolhouse, or a cheerful motif to appeal to shoppers. Such labels are now prized by collectors and historians as a record of regional branding and printing.
