Spinner Brand Blue Label is the name printed across this crate label, which sets it apart from the many apple labels on the same board. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping crates so that buyers could identify the grower or packing house and the grade of fruit inside. Bright color lithography was a major selling tool in the early twentieth century, when fruit growers in orchard regions competed for shelf space in distant markets. Blue labels often signaled a top grade, so this one is worth a look for its typography and the way it tries to make a plain crate of apples feel like a premium product.
