Tapestry Brand is a crate label for Washington apples, and its name is the detail that sets it apart from the many fruit labels that share this board. Growers and packing houses used brands like this to tell buyers at distant markets where a crate came from and what quality to expect, so a label was as much a piece of advertising as a shipping mark. Crate labels of this kind were usually printed in bright color lithography, with the brand name set large and the fruit shown in lush, idealized detail. Apple labels from the Pacific Northwest are especially worth a close look, since the region's orchard industry grew rapidly in the early twentieth century.
