Crate labels like this one were pasted onto the ends of wooden apple boxes so buyers could tell at a glance who had packed the fruit and what brand it carried. The Morjon name stands out here as a trademark meant to build loyalty: a shopper who liked one crate could look for the same mark again. Commercial fruit labels of this kind flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when orchards shipped apples by rail to distant city markets and growers competed on color, lithography and a memorable name.
