Richwood, a small farming community in Gloucester County, New Jersey, is the place named on this crate label for Zee Apples, which sets it apart from the many apple-crate designs that show orchards or fruit alone. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's fruit at a glance. Between the late 1800s and the mid-1900s, such labels were printed in bright chromolithographic colors, and they served as a small but effective form of advertising for regional growers. The label's wording and layout reflect how New Jersey orchards competed to sell their fruit in city produce markets.
