Among the many apple crate labels in this group, this one carries the Waldorf Brand name, a trademark used to sell fruit grown in the orchards of its region and shipped to buyers in distant cities. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright color lithography and pasted to the ends of wooden boxes, so growers could catch a shopper's eye on a crowded market stall or grocer's shelf. They were also a form of advertising that spread regional names across the country. Look closely at the lettering and the central image, which show how packers tried to suggest freshness, quality and the appeal of a particular place.
