The Mountain Goat Brand label stands out on this board for its named brand and its Chelan origin, placing it in the orchard country around Lake Chelan in central Washington. Chelan growers sent their fruit to distant markets in wooden crates, and a lithographed label pasted to each end was the main way a grower's name reached buyers and shoppers. The animal on the label was a common marketing device of the period, meant to make a brand memorable on a crowded grocer's shelf. Labels like this show how fruit growers in the Pacific Northwest competed for attention in eastern cities.
