Glacier Peak, the snow-capped volcano in Washington's Cascade Range, lends its name to this crate label, a reminder of how growers used regional landmarks to sell fruit. Apple crate labels like this one were typically printed in bright color lithography and pasted onto wooden shipping boxes, where they competed for attention on crowded store shelves and railway platforms. Labels of this kind helped build the identity of Pacific Northwest orchards, linking a specific valley and its scenery to the quality of the fruit inside.
