The name on this label, Jim Dandy, is a brand that a grower or packer chose to set one crate apart from the rest on a shipping dock. Crate labels like this were usually printed in bright color, often by lithography, and pasted to the ends of wooden fruit boxes so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a shipper's fruit at a glance. Between the late 1800s and the mid-1900s, such labels were a common part of the apple trade, and they now serve as small records of how growers marketed their produce and tried to win a buyer's attention in a crowded market.
