The Mad River name sets this label apart from the many Washington apple crate labels on the board, presenting the fruit under a river rather than a town or orchard. Lithographed in bright color and pasted to the ends of wooden crates, labels like this told buyers in distant markets what they were getting. Washington's irrigated orchards and rail links to eastern cities made the state a major apple shipper in the early 1900s, and its labels were designed to be read quickly across a crowded produce stall.
