Yakima, Washington, is the place that sets this crate label apart from the many apple labels on the board. Its name, Spinner Brand Blue Label, points to the commercial fruit-packing trade that grew up in the Yakima Valley in the early 1900s, when irrigation from the Yakima River opened the dry benchland to orchards. Growers and shippers used bright lithographed labels like this one on wooden crates to catch the eye of buyers in eastern markets and to build a brand name that signaled quality. Crate labels of this kind are now prized as small works of commercial printing, showing the color work and lettering of their era.
