The record ties this label to Wenatchee and Yakima, two Washington communities that became major apple-growing centers in the early twentieth century. Crate labels like this one were lithographed in bright color and pasted onto wooden shipping boxes, so the artwork had to catch the eye of buyers in distant markets, often before they ever saw the fruit. Growers in the state's irrigated valleys relied on rail lines to send their crops east, and labels such as this one were a small but important part of that trade. Look closely at the lettering and scenery, which show how packers marketed a regional product to the whole country.
